Can You Find Me? - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

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.
