Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides), looking at the camera while roosting on a tree branch, in Centennial Park, Sydney, Australia. This Australian nocturnal bird often camouflages to resemble a tree branch, keeping stiff with eyes closed. It can be spotted when it opens the yellow eyes while sensing danger.
