Description
Many beautiful Kookaburras come to my garden and watch and wait for something to eat.... I have a lot of mulch in my garden where there are many beetles, etc, so the Kookaburra just waits for something to move, then he is so fast.

Kookaburras are terrestrial tree kingfishers of the genus Dacelo native to Australia and New Guinea, which grow to between 28-42 cm (11-17 in) in length. The name is a loanword from Wiradjuri guuguubarra, onomatopoeic of its call. The single member of the genus Clytoceyx is commonly referred to as the shovel-billed kookaburra.
The kookaburra's loud call sounds like echoing human laughter. They are found in habitats ranging from humid forest to arid savanna, as well as in suburban areas with tall trees or near running water. Even though they belong to the larger group known as "kingfishers", kookaburras are not closely associated with water.

Hi Joyce, thank you so much for your kind words and I am glad you like my birds and that they bring back memories from Australia. As you know, the laugh of the Kookaburra is so special :) Thanks for looking and for your v/f.
