Kookaburra

You'd think that I would be over the amazement of seeing a Kookaburra by now, but I am not. It is still one of the most incredible sights I have witnessed while here in Sydney.  Today while we were playing in the park across the street, we were fortunate enough to see not one, not two, but three Kookaburras in the trees.  And, if that wasn't great enough, I actually got the three of them laughing on video. For some reason I cannot upload the video to my blog which bums me out so the photos will have to do. If you have never heard the Kookaburra's call, you are missing out on something amazing. It truly does sound like laughing- a sort of maniacal laughing that draws you to wherever they are. Here is a link if you are interested in hearing it-- http://birdsinbackyards.net/images/audio/dacelo-novaeguineae.mp3.

Look for all three Kookaburras






This guy found something good to eat. Not sure what.

This is the first time we have seen them on the ground.
