If you're wondering what a kookaburra sounds like, there is a sound link online. I couldn't get the link to work right, but you can find it this way: Google "kookaburra lyrics." You'll see at least two references to the NIEHS Kids' Pages for the song. Once you get to the Kookaburra song lyrics, under the photo of the bird is the sound link.

Nice thread! Here are a few nature pictures of Puerto Rico, where I'm from
This is Camuy's cave. Well a small part of it that is open to the public. It's actually a huge cave, with a river that runs through it. You are not allowed to touch anything while there. If you wish to see the rest of the cave, a visit can be arranged with Puerto Rico Department of Natural Resources. However, before actually visiting it you have to take a training course about safety measures, how to walk there, respect the environment, learn some rappelling, and such.
This is "Manglillo" a mangrove swamp beach at the south of Puerto Rico. You can actually swim there if you aren't afraid of fishes, turtles, manatees and other sea creatures. It's a actually a safe beach, no sharks or anything there. The water doesn't smell funny either. It's regular sea salted water.
Some sea turtles at Culebra, east of Puerto Rico. They nest on some beaches, and people organize events to help the youngs get safe to sea.

I've posted these before in Jess's Feedstore thread but thought they may fit here too. This is my front gully and if you look carefully, you can see a wallaby.
This is about as close as I could get before she took off with her joey and hopped through the fence.

Oh yes, those pictures from Porto Rico are really beautiful......
And Jocelyn, thanks for the aussie touch......I dont know if you are like us, and it might amaze the people from other countries on here, but when we see a kangaroo in the wild, we always stop and watch it, whether it is in our back yard,(if we live on a property), or in the bush on the side of the road....it is still a lovely sight to see them in their mobs out in the wild.....and to some of us, still very unique......contrary to what a lot of overseas visitors envisage, when they think we have kangaroos jumping down the main streets of our towns.....as we know, that doesnt happen....
