[pahoboye]

getting confused... but here's the deal...thisw is a tawny owl in a place called frogmouth?

This particular group of birds, goatsuckers, of which the Frogmouth is a member were considered evil spirts by some of the ancients and primitive peoples.

That bird can see the IR light you are probably blinding the poor thing.

Nightmares. You all have them now. And this bird is in them.

Nice movie.

I do wonder if you realise that owls can see infra red, so for this own it appeared like you were putting a bright light in his face. Thats why he looked away from the camera and after a final peak flew away.

Tawny Frogmouths aren't owls, though :)
