The Philippine frogmouth is a small nocturnal bird known for its striking appearance and distinct morphology. It primarily exhibits a mix of rufous, brown and grey plumage, which provides excellent camouflage against tree trunks and dense foliage. The bird has a broad, flat beak shaped like a frog's mouth, which it efficiently uses to capture insects during night foraging. Its large eyes are highly adapted for nocturnal vision, aiding in its crepuscular lifestyle. |
