Marbled Frogmouth
Calls & Sounds
The Marbled Frogmouth (Podargus ocellatus) is a medium-sized frogmouth species found in a few places in eastern Australia and throughout much of New Guinea. In Australia Marbled Frogmouths are only found in two relatively small regions – the rainforests of Cape York Peninsula & in south-eastern Queensland / north-eastern New South Wales. The habitat of the southerly subspecies ‘plumiferus’ (also known as the ‘Plumed Frogmouth’) has been severly reduced by land clearing and as a result this taxon is listed as Vulnerable in New South Wales.
