 Can You Find Me? - LP Zoo

This tawny frogmouth likes to do

A pose of hiding in plain sight

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

It's something that gives me delight

To have visitors wonder where

I may be as they look around.

When they discover I'm right there

They are amazed how I astound.

It is a trick of this bird that

I pose as a branch of a tree,

Just hanging in the habitat

Watching visitors look for me.

I have a body that's designed

To blend in and be hard to find.
