Kookaburra, Hamilton Island, Whitsundays, Queensland, Australia

Kookaburra, Hamilton Island, Whitsundays, Queensland, Australia
This beautiful bird is often seen on Hamilton Island. This one came to visit us on our verandah.

'According to an Aboriginal legend, the kookaburra's famous chorus of laughter every morning is a signal for the sky people to light the great fire that illuminates and warms the earth by day. The legend captures the imagination, but the true function of the familiar cacophony is to advertise the territory of this bold bird. The Laughing Kookaburra is the largest of the kingfisher family...'

They have a cackling call, usually heard early in the morning from pairs of birds.
