Tawny frogmouth

I found this one on the ground near the irrigation dam today.  Generally when they are on the ground other birds attack them and they have difficulty flying but this one flew straight back up to its perch when we tried to catch it to protect it.  Its truly amazing just how well they camouflage themselves....it looked like a piece of bark.
