A baby Kookaburra, He still has his baby feathers on the chest but has all his flight feathers and can fly quite well. He is quite entertaining when landing though. He isn't really lost. I imitated his parents "come here" call and was able to entice him to come within 2 metres of me.

What a great capture! Looks like he's saying "You called, but who ARE you?"

What a great capture Robert! I remember a song we used to sing in Girl Scouts...it was about "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, eating all the gum drops he can see, laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra, save some there for me"! Ok, Ok, enough for the trip down memory lane.~ Thanks for sharing this awesome image with us.The detail is great too. This goes right onto my desktop! :))

But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think and smile. Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.
