Field Notes

Description:

Kookaburras are best known for their unmistakable call, which sounds uncannily like loud, echoing human laughter.

Notes:

This guy was very friendly. He had been watching us all morning and as soon as we had packed up our tents he was on the ground catching the worms that had been hiding underneath.
