A huge Ostrich eyes the camera warily as it advances on the now slightly worried photographer. This birds a big, powerful and can be a little meancing up close.

This very large bird with the goofy look is an Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) , one of Australia’s icons. / The Emu shares pride of place on the Australian Coat of Arms with a Kangaroo. (The reason a Kangaroo and Emu are depicted on our national symbol is that they can’t walk backwards). This dippy Emu was photographed during the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club’s Christmas party at the Billabong Koala Sanctuary at Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, in very early Summer 2006. These are NOT very easy subjects to photograph as they are constantly on the move pacing up and down with their heads bobbing around. As my old Fuji S5500 is not renowned for his focusing speed, my frustration was beginning to show after about half an hour but persistence paid off in the end. Those curly bits on top of its head which add to the goofy expression are new feathers which have not fully developed.

Cas
by Krys BaileyThis is a prehistoric-looking Southern Cassowary bird, native to Australia. These flightless birds are about the size of an Emu and ten times as mean! Wouldn’t like to get on the wrong side of this fella! ;o)

While not considered South America’s most intelligent bird, the Rhea does lay claim to being the continent’s biggest. A common sight in the Argentine Pampas, the Rhea was one of the first animals that started Charles Darwin thinking that species’ characteristics might not necessarily be fixed.

This poor old cardinal has lost his ability to fly and I’m afraid his days are numbered. He hops around the feeders eating the castaway seeds on the ground and depends on puddles for water. I put some water at ground level for him and toss seeds near him when I notice his presence. He allowed me to get close enough to take this shot with my macro lens, sure proof that he doesn’t have much fight or flight left in him. Still, he is beautiful as his life winds down.

The jackass penguin, a flightless seabird, is found nowhere in the world except off the coast of southern Africa, i.e. it is endemic to this area. It breeds on 24 offshore islands between Namibia and Port Elizabeth. Additional colonies were established in the 1980s on the mainland at Betty’s Bay and Simonstown. There is also a colony on the mainland of Namibia, although it is not known when this colony was established. Nesting on the mainland is unusual for jackass penguins because they are ground-nesting birds and are vulnerable to the many predators on the mainland. Jackass penguins used to nest by burrowing into guano (bird droppings which have accumulated into a hardish substance, sometimes several metres deep). Most of the nutrient-rich guano was removed for fertiliser in the 19th century. Penguins now nest in burrows in sand, under overhanging rocks, under bushes, or even in the open. Jackass penguins can breed at any time of the year, usually laying two eggs. Most adult birds feed during the day and the chicks are fed regurgitated food in the late afternoon. The parent birds take turns in guarding the nest site and catching food. Fish eaten include sardine, maasbanker and anchovy. Squid are also eaten Canon PowerShot S2IS This shot was taken at Betty’s Bay, an hours drive out of Cape Town

Cheeky, inquisitive, sturdy, and bigger than expected… words fall short when it comes to describing this delightful bird that was feared to be extinct. There are now about 250 takahe in the world after efforts to rescue the species have started to pay off. One small but critical population is on the island of Tiritiri Matangi, open to public visit and a short boat ride from Auckland. My first impression on seeing the rare takahe (63cm) just after seeing the smaller and widespread pukeko (53cm), was “WOW, that takahe is a big, chunky bird”! Note that in this shot, one of the takahe’s nictitating membranes (over the bird’s right eye) is out of synch with the other eye; maybe it just got a splash in the eye! For more information on takahe (Porphyrio hochstetteri), go to . Canon 50D, f5.6, 1/320, ISO 500, focal length 400mm.
