The species name, strigoides, means owl-like because this bird is not an owl! This is a tawny frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) and it’s actually part of the #nightjar family! Tawny frogmouths are medium-sized nocturnal/crepuscular birds that get their name from their huge “frog-like” beaks that are used to capture insects. These beaks are notably different from that of owls. Owls have narrow, downwards-facing beaks that are used to tear prey apart. #bird #wildlife #science | Science Channel

There is a common misconception that Tawny Frogmouths are owls. This is not true! While both are nocturnal, owls hunt by grasping prey in their strong talons.
