Call of Kookaburras on Stradbroke Island

September 2005, twilight in Point Lookout on Straddie, a little island off the coast of Brisbane, Australia. And the sound of one of the Australian wildlife icons, the Kookaburra (or laughing jackass). See also http://www.amonline.net.au/factSheets/laughing_kookaburra.htm

Brings back fond memories of when I lived in Australia... I miss those birds (did I say that ;-) haha) It is a creepy sounds at times. And yes, not the best at 5am. But beautiful still the same. Nothing compares. Thanks for sharing.

Reminds me of the Mockingbird. Loud, annoying, but strangely charming.
