Australian Birds Part 1

[Michael Liskay]

So, it has been a while since I visited or posted on this website, for various reasons. However, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Australia for 3+ weeks this fall. Sydney (New South Wales), Queensland, Northern Territory and Tasmania. Almost all the over 200 species seen and identified were new for me. I will post my favorites in several parts. (In order top to bottom)

Laughing Kookaburra, Superb Fairywren, "not so laughable" Kookaburra, Sulphur-crested Cockatoos, Ditto, Rainbow Lorikeet, Ditto, Noisy Miner

Wow - quite the collection and this is just part 1? Neat Beautiful collection of captures.

Is the Kookaburra having someone else's kid for lunch?

Wow Michael! Know you have been missed, your photography is always a joy and is special to view.

So many great birds you got here. #3,4 and 6 are my favorites of all of these great images. #3 is really spectacular.

From my observation of the incoming Kookaburra, that is lunch!

Marcy Yes we had our guides from Wild Latitudes based in Portland, OR and a local guide for Queensland and Northern Territory and a separate guide for Tasmania. There are lots of birds including in the parks in and near Sydney!
