Wild Bird Wednesday - Kookaburra


A puffed up, very cold Kookaburra
hoping for a handout


field mice are in their burrows and
the snakes he likes as a take-away
are too cold to show their faces
poor old kookaburra

    That is a shame. And I thought Australia was always warm.

    Love him/her. We rarely see them now - and I miss them. Thank you. And I hope you are completely recovered now.

    The kookaburra is the most fantastic member of the kingfisher family.

    Arija, I would love to see a kookaburra! Just seeing this post makes me think of a song I learned in elementary school about "kookaburra sits in the old gum tree..." Now I will be singing it all day long! LOL!
