For one who has a new and increasing interest in birds, WBW is a great place to see and appreciate such a variety.<br /><br />The kookaburra is beautifully marked and, you may not be aware, that brown and teal color is the very in thing for house decor and clothing. Such a funny "mohawk" too.<br /><br />Darwin may have been on his high horse a bit here, but I do like his approach for solving problems: "step by step, method in all things".<br />Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227397761350236459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-22040676321248328962013-07-11T10:07:43.620+10:002013-07-11T10:07:43.620+10:00Oh...I really need to visit Australia!

Congratulations on the first anniversary of this resurrected meme, I am so glad you took over from Sringman and did not allow it to become extinct.<br />I think the picture of your lad, though perhaps not photographically perfect, portrays a couple of things about both bird and boy. Primarily, the rust between bird and boy, not every boy would be so relaxed at a bird that size with rather handy claws, landing on his hand. Secondly, the Kookie actually doing that.<br />Nice to see the difference between the two types of kookaburras so well illustrated.<br /><br />If you have the time, could you please check my ID of the Southern Whiteface???Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-87008167954917204202013-07-10T20:15:15.777+10:002013-07-10T20:15:15.777+10:00Congratulations on the anniversary!
