Hartert's frogmouth

Batrachostomus harterti

Hartert's frogmouth (Batrachostomus harterti) is a species of frogmouth found in the Philippines. It is a medium-sized bird with a distinctive wide, frog-like gape. The plumage is predominantly brown and mottled, providing excellent camouflage in its forest habitat. This species is nocturnal and feeds on insects, which it catches using its wide bill. It is known for its haunting, frog-like calls during the night. Hartert's frogmouth is primarily found in lowland and montane forests, where it roosts on tree branches during the day. Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, this species faces threats to its population.

Habitat: Lowland and montane forests
