...I only saw laughing kookaburras when we were out bush walking, now all I have to do is look out of my front window! Thank goodness my windows had had their once yearly Christmas clean 😉Although they make a heck of a racket with their raucous laughter I do love these little critters.. yes even when they wake me at sunrise! The word has spread.. the birdbaths in this garden are always full, in the warm weather that's essential. Even though he was having a wonderful time splashing about you can see he was keeping a careful watch in all directions.. it's a tough world out there, even in suburbia :) Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe..
...a sight that I've never seen, thanks for sharing, Grace.
ReplyDeleteI love their laugh, but cannot imagine one outside my window all the time! What a cute, little guy!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a strong little bird! What a sight, Grace!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what a magical series of photos. Bird baths are such fun to watch but I have never seen a Kookaburra in ours 😉 Enjoy while you can, Take care diane
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sight to see. Birds love to make noise in the early morning. We have crows screaming at whatever starting at 6ish. It will get earlier as time moves toward more morning light.
ReplyDeleteNow he's a sweet thing, and I'm so glad to meet him!
ReplyDeleteQuite a bird!
ReplyDeleteWonderful. Aside from eagles, I wouldn't have thought kookaburras would have predators. Perhaps it was watching for food.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what wonderful photos! I'd love to hear one of these guys in person.
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet photographs, lovely to see.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
How marvelous! I shall miss California wildlife when returned home to Honolulu.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, Grace, lucky you, this is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteYesterday we heard one, too, not today, went to your place, I guess ;-)
We call them "lachender Hans", how creative.... not!
Wonderful series. You've made at least one bird happy.

It's very modest compared to yours.)
What a quirky bird, maybe we should get a bird bath.
ReplyDeleteI need to give my windows their annual clean ... behind in my cleaning this year. I heard kookaburras yesterday morning but couldn't see them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a womderful photo's, he is really making a performance. Reminds me to clean the windows here too....:)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of this interesting looking creature. An unusual beak compared to the birds I seen all the time.
