I am bird-sitting Hinckley the Kookaburra that *SageKorppi is bird-sitting while she is away for the holidays. He's a great bird with a lot of character. After weeks of overcast skies, we finally had some sun today and Hinckley stayed perched near the window. I was able to get some natural-light shots of his handsome face and beautiful eyes. It's nice to get photos of birds who stay put once in a while...

The background was already very dark in the photo, but I did darken it a little more to get rid of any objects.

Thank you! I hope you can meet him one day before he goes back to his original owner. I babysat him for someone who is currently baby sitting him for the winter. I think I want to get one of my own though :D

This is the same person who just captured a Red-tail, so hopefully, sometime soon, I can bring you there to meet the birds. She has to train him a bit, then can bring him hunting when she can trust that he won't fly away! We won't be around this weekend, but I'll see about upcoming weekends.

Okay! We have a lot of woods at our house so anytime she wants some property to hunt on, we're available!;)

She has your property in mind! You probably know that I already emailed your mom about it. I wish my other friend could have brought her birds here earlier today. Maybe another time.
