I was thrown by the Kookaburra in Baton Rouge. Was this a zoo, or something?
Along way from home, that one. We have them around our house a lot. And they always seem to laugh when we've tripped, or done something stupid. I'm sure that's just coincidence.
:-) That's what they're about... having a laugh.
Wow. Must'a been the link from the previous comment. Oopsy. This is better...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kookaburra I meant belted, too. What a goof!
Haha...sorry, I had to say that. That is a kookaburra :D
Almost Jim... it's a belter of a kingfisher for sure :-) btw your link goes to some grape plant ?
Juvenile Belter Kingfisher? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitis_labrusca
