I love the quirky expressions that some animals can come up with. This guy was sitting on my clothesline one day so I just had to draw him. The original is coloured pencil and ink on board. I carved the background pattern out of lino myself, but credit must be given to Rhonna Farrer for the use of her stamps in the foreground.

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!)

The iconic Australian Laughing kookaburra gazes at the early morning sun before heading of for another busy day. These birds seem to really enjoy watching sunrises and quite often, just before dawn, will launch into their raucous laughter that can be heard from far away. Imaged at Mango Hill, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Kookaburra at Melbourne Zoo The “Laughing Kookaburra” is known by its name for its “laugh” which it uses to greet its mate after periods of absences. It can be heard at any time of day but most frequently shortly after dawn and especially when the colour drains from the forest after sunset. One bird starts with a low, hiccupping chuckle, then throws its head back in raucous laughter: often several others join in. If a rival tribe is within earshot and replies, the whole family soon gathers to fill the bush with ringing laughter. Hearing kookaburras in full voice is one of the more extraordinary experiences of the Australian bush, something even locals cannot ignore; some visitors, unless forewarned, may find their call startling. / ~ Wikipedia

FEATURED OCT 2009 EARTHKEEPERS Blue-winged Kookaburra: Taken at a zoo, this happy girl delighted us with her disposition. The males are blue-tailed, and are hence easily distinguished from females with the rufousstriped tail shown here.The Kookaburra is a keen and spirited bird, of the kingfisher family. / / (from The Wik:)There are four known species of Kookaburras: / Rufous-bellied Kookaburra (Dacelo gaudichaud). / Spangled Kookaburra (Dacelo tyro). / Blue-winged Kookaburra (Dacelo leachii). / Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae). / The Blue-winged Kookaburra has a distribution from southern New Guinea and the moister parts of northern Australia, to southern Queensland across the Top End, and as far down the Western Australian coast as the Shark Bay area. The scientific name commemorates the British zoologist William Elford Leach. Widespread and common throughout its large range, the Blue-winged Kookaburra is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. / Kookaburras are carnivorous. They will eat lizards, snakes, insects, mice, other small birds, and raw meat. The most social birds will accept handouts from humans and will take raw or cooked meat (even if at high temperature) from on or near open-air barbecues left unattended. It is generally not advised to feed the birds too regularly as meat alone does not include calcium and other nutrients essential to the bird. Remainders of mince on the bird’s beak can fester and cause problems for the bird. / They are territorial, and often live with the partly grown chicks of the previous season. They often sing as a chorus to mark their territory. / In the wild, kookaburras are known to eat babies of other birds and snakes, and insects and small reptiles and even other small birds, such as finches if they are lucky enough to catch them. In zoos, they are usually fed food for birds of prey, and dead baby chicks. Nikon D70s / Nikon 70-300mm / speed 1/125th / f /4.8 / PS and Photomatix to adjust contrast.
