Palawan Frogmouth

Batrachostomus chaseni

Least Concern

The Palawan Frogmouth is a nocturnal frogmouth of Palawan and nearby islands. It roosts motionless by day with bark-like camouflage, then hunts insects and small animals at night from low perches. Its broad bill, soft plumage, and quiet flight suit dim forest edges and woodland.
