More from the Raptor Centre.
Striated Caracara, this bird is a bird of prey, but it spends a lot of time on the ground. They are native to parts of South America and the Falkland Islands.
Kookaburra. These birds are the largest members of the Kingfisher family. They are native to eastern Australia. They eat insects, reptiles, snakes and small mammals.
Continued Reflections from my World. 
The Kookaburra makes me think of the childhood song “Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree ….” As to the Striated Caracara, it exemplifies the expression “hit the ground running!”

Fun songs from back in the day – I wonder if children sing songs like this now, in school or anywhere else?
