EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this incredible print captured by Bruce Thomson, we witness the master of camouflage in action - the Tawny frogmouth. Nestled within a dead tree in Charters Towers, Queensland, Australia, this avian illusionist effortlessly blends into its surroundings. With its mottled feathers perfectly mimicking the bark's texture and coloration, it takes a keen eye to distinguish this feathered friend from its woody perch. The Tawny frogmouth's ability to disappear into plain sight is truly awe-inspiring! Known by various names like freckled frogmouth or tawny shouldered frogmouth, this nocturnal beauty is often mistaken for an owl due to its large eyes and silent flight. But don't be fooled! This unique bird belongs to the Caprimulgiformes order and possesses distinct characteristics that set it apart. As daytime settles over Queensland's landscape, our camouflaged protagonist finds solace perched on a branch. Its presence goes unnoticed by passersby who are unaware of nature's hidden gem right before their eyes. So next time you find yourself exploring the Australian wilderness or simply admiring Bruce Thomson's remarkable photography skills, keep your gaze sharp - for there may just be a Tawny frogmouth playing hide-and-seek with you amidst the trees of Charters Towers!
