Kookaburra
Laughing Kookaburra. These birds, members of the Kingfisher family, are native to Australia. They get their name “Laughing” Kookaburra, because of their raucus cackling call! The blue sky is real – it was a lovely sunny day (we had one of those once in Merrie Olde England! I think it was in 2006!)

Great Capture Krys. I love the amount of detail preserved in the image and the blue background really makes it sand out. I like that very much

Bonnie T. Barry
What a fantastic shot, Krys. I wish my birds were so cooperative and not so skittish! This fellow seems to be smiling contentedly and happy as a clam to be with human company. You have preserved every beautiful detail of this charming bird so perfectly!
