The Family Podargidae consists of frogmouths, a group of nocturnal birds found mainly in Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Guinea. They are closely related to nightjars and are known for their wide, flattened bills and large mouths, which they use to catch insects and small prey at night. Frogmouths have camouflaged plumage that allows them to blend into tree branches during the day, and they are largely solitary and sedentary. Their cryptic behavior, silent flight, and specialized feeding make them fascinating examples of nocturnal adaptation in birds.
