Aussie birds (Page 2): Nice captures Earl. The Kookaburra looks like and old man judging by his beak condition. Really like the detail and sharpness.

Great shots Earl, quite a bit of difference in the two cameras; that said they are all good for sure.

So this is the famous Kookaburra. Where is the gum tree. Nice picture of the world famous critter

Of course...weird birds and mammals would have to have even weirder names. Cool shot, DOOK.

That is really cool. I've heard of Kookaburra but I had no idea they had such an interesting song. It's really fun to see the bird's throat change as he bends the tones. As a sometimes amateur sax player, hence my name, I know that same technique is used by good sax players to achieve the wide range of tonal colorations a saxophone can produce.

Thank you, sax player. :-)

Very nice mixture of birds; I like the first shot of the kookaburra best. Mother lived in Australia for many years in her youth and sang many Aussie songs to us, and told us about the 'Kookaburra Cakkle'. Hearing it on youtube was great fun.

There is a song sung by the legendary Australian Slim Dusty about a kookaburra and I think you will enjoy
