Tawny Frogmouth

One look. You smile, you nod, you fall for him Eyes enchanting, breathing dead bark of tree Showy singer, poor nest, pretentious whim Yet, expert in stumping, purrs when with glee Takes up parenting with love, face never once grim So uxorious, love-rich. Why ours not so be?

I am grateful to you for the kind visit and words dear poet. Endearing bird with such attitude drew me to write on him, tried to fill thoughts on him as much as I could in six lines. Thank you, I am grateful to you for the precious blessings and good wishes dear friend. Easter blessings to you too dear gifted poet.

I just watched a video of the tawney frogmouth and can see how he got his name. Great job in bringing out the charm in this unusual bird!
