Wow, Maureen, this is one nice shot again! Just look at those eyes. Good that you did not portrait the bird as a whole, it would loose precious detail.
Btw. weren't you afraid it would peck your lens? It is not that it's not seeing you, you are in focus;) Posted 13 years ago

Thank you - I did consider my lens here, but some zoom and distance always make things safer for me and my camera both! : ) Posted 13 years ago

The Emu

The emu is the largest bird native to Australia and the only extant member of the genus "Dromaius". It is the second-largest extant bird in the world by height, after its ratite relative, the ostrich. There are three subspecies of emus in Australia. The emu is common over most of mainland Australia, although it avoids heavily populated areas, dense forest, and arid areas.
