Kookaburra: Staring at the Sea

2008.05.09
This rather stately bird is a "laughing kookaburra", or dacelo novaeguineae in its Latin name, perched on a fence post at Garie Beach in Royal National Park, south of Sydney. That's the South Pacific in the background. As their name suggests, kookaburras' singing sounds like laughing.

These little critters let you get pretty close!

LastFrontier Two Kookaburras in about a week's time, proving that some of what we were taught back in school was true. Lovely photo.
