Thank you very much. I truly appreciate that, Traci.
#birdoftheday Tawny Frogmouth
Australia’s most familiar nocturnal bird. Note the bright yellow eyes and very large ‘frog-like’ bill with whiskers above only slightly banded.
A master of camouflage, its shaggy plumage blends in with rough bark when roosting. Not Owls.

This image is of a lilac-breasted roller (Coracias caudatus) which is an African bird of the roller family, Coraciidae. It is widely distributed in Southern and Eastern Africa, and is a vagrant to the southern Arabian Peninsula.
It prefers open woodland and savanna, and it is for the most part absent from treeless places. Usually found alone or in pairs, it perches at the tops of trees, poles or other high vantage points from where it can spot insects, amphibians and small birds moving about on the ground.
#birdoftheday Lilac-breasted roller
A chunky, large-headed bird with a lilac breast, rusty cheeks, and spring-green crown. It has an amazing display flight which includes side-to-side rolling, which gives rollers their name. Native to Sub-Saharan Africa. Photos By Giles Laurent

I appreciate you helping that gorgeous bird. It must have felt safe to come into your home like that.
Hopefully the ANPA is able to help.
No worries, I love birds.
I just posted 4 photos of Frillback Pigeons, if you want to check them out.

The bird in the image is an Archangel pigeon, a fancy pigeon breed known for its metallic sheen on its feathers.
Great Potoo - The Ghost Bird
The great potoo is the largest potoo species and is widely distributed in Central and South America.
It preys on large insects and small vertebrates, which it captures in sallies from high perches.
Much like owls, this species is nocturnal.

Excellent! Really nice photos.
I really like the second one.
Thank you for sharing.
Perfect photo.
In case you're wondering what kind of bird it is, it's a Barn Swallow. I love birds.
