You would think you have to leave the city to find tawny frogmouth. I was very surprised to spot two of them in the front yard of some friends we visited yesterday but I should have known better. From Wikipedia: They can be found in almost any habitat type, including forests and woodlands, scrub and heathland vegetation, and savannahs.^[19] However, they are rarely seen in heavy rainforests and treeless deserts.^[20] They are seen in large numbers in areas populated with many river gums and casuarinas, and can be found along river courses if these areas are timbered.^[6] Tawny frogmouths are common in suburbs, having adapted to human presence. They have been reported nesting in parks and gardens with trees.^[6]
