What a beautiful animal. "They sing in chorus".

I saw the discovery of hundreds of new species in Iriyanjaja this week. The animals weren't even afraid of humans.

Love that sound. Amaazing!

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree
Merry merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, kookaburra, Laugh, kookaburra
Gay your life must be.

I finally sent you a poem. Too bad I didn't write it. I learned it as a child, my kids, my grandkids, and now the greats all sing about the kookaburra.

Australia is full of marvelous things. The United States has the pigeon.

But Granny, think of Jim's Red-Shafted Flicker! That looks pretty exotic!

I had no idea what a kookaburra looked just like a miniature kingfisher.

Kookaburra sits on the garden gate
Hoping the photo turns out great
He's vain, he's looking for blogging glory
And hopes that Lindsay will tell his story.

I think that bird knows something we don't. He is wonderful looking.

This bird is magnificent. I think it might be having a good laugh at some of us.

Hi BT & HH

It's definitely a birds life around here and probably Kookaburra is having a chuckle or two !!

Best wishes

I love kookaburras.

Jim now has a Cooper's Hawk and a robin. I, of course, recognized the robin.

Our spring is your fall but at least for once the weather may be decent in both places at the same time.

We will have fruit trees in bloom and crocuses peeking through shortly.

The first thing that came to my mind was the song Granny quoted, but I won't quote it again (it will, however, play in my head the rest of the day now). We used to sing that in Girl Scouts. I always liked that song. I liked to say "kookaburra." Great word!
