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!
