*** First Place Winner at the Jackson County Fair! ***
Emus are remarkable creatures. They look like dinosaurs and they cannot fly. Although they have feathers like a bird, their bones are not hollow. They don't have a normal bird's breastbone but instead have a plate similar to a turtle's shell. This plate looks like a raft, which is where their group's name, "Ratitae" comes from--Ratis means "raft" in Latin.
Back in May, my husband and I got to visit a local Emu ranch with our photography group and I took many pictures. As I post my best over the coming weeks, I'll be adding more information about this amazing bird with each picture. However, if you would like to know more information, Wiki has a great page here: Wiki: Emu
I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too!
Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)
