Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ It has been awhile since I posted a photo of one of our wild kookaburra friends, here in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
So here is one from a recent, still dark winter morning.
That is the perfect time for them to arrive for food before the onset of other feathered wildlife.

Patient little birds
Quietly dream on the world

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Excellent capture of the kookaburra and that last haiku is my fav. Have a great night.
what a darling little fellow he is!!!
Cute photo!
How beautiful!
What a beautiful bird and I love the text too.
Hi Gemma...What an interesting bird. I don't think I have anything similar visiting my yard. It is so hard to think of you in winter as we are in summer...I also love the poetry. I wrote my first haiku about a hummingbird and posted it. Good thing nobody noticed it as I don't think it's very good...LOL...Michelle
I'm filled with envy at your kookaburra! And your poetry too... never quite got the hang of that myself.
Nice shot of your little friend. I wish I saw a larger variety of birds. I keep looking.
