Hi David,
Well, we have observed Tawny Frogmouths in the Yarra Bend park, but they
seemed to keep moving between 2-3 roosts. I think maybe that has
something to do with human disturbance. But Gisela Kaplan mentions
something about roosting behaviour and has references in her book on
Tawny Frogmouths.
