A couple of individuals in this location with this peculiar wing coloration. They otherwise did not appear worn, and each one had the left FW affected. Local genetics?

This is only the second record for GA, I think, and is quite a bit further north than the previous one. Found by Charlie Brown who showed it to me and watched me go nuts... I have been searching for this species in GA for years.

Papuan Frogmouth (Podargus papuensis)Observer
davidgwhiteDescription
The first time I had ever seen this, i videoed the entire event as well from entry to exit. It was as if this species swims all the time. I sent it to a frogmouth expert and she had never seen that before. The bird chose to swim and flew away very easily after its swim. There appeared to be no explanation for the bird swimming as it was not particularly hot or anything unusual.
