DukeNinja Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 This little fella has visited us twice now. Any ideas what type it might be? I'm thinking a Powerful Owl . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandpaGrumble Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I'm thinking Tawny Frogmouth, which isn't technically an owl apparently. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Certainly looks like a tawny frogmouth, (caprimulgidae) or, goat sucker family, or, night jar. Cheers, Bobj. Edited May 2, 2021 by Bobj adding 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Returns Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Tawny Frogmouth. We get a lot of them around Brisbane. As GG said, technically it's not an owl but it's an impressive looking bird nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
