200). World wide Back-yard Bird count

Laughing Kookaburra


Who's laughing now?!  No more Mr. Nice-guy!  Or what happens when a Laughing Kookaburra has a bad hair feather day?
Pale-headed Rosella
Today is the Great Backyard Bird Count (http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc) a citizen-science project to create a snapshot of where the birds are, world-wide, at one point in time (four days).  We went to two local wetlands to make our contribution.  These Pale-headed rosellas are the beauties of the day!  Enjoying a little flower snack.
Ummm.....which way did he go?  

 
Five purple swamphens (Porphyrio porphyrio--purple purple) and a Pacific black duck.
