This is called a Rufous Scrub Bird which is found in high altitudes...they live in the think undergrowth in the forest floors of QLD & NSW. They have been listed as vulnerable but scientists are seriously considering upgrading them to endangered. So knowing this, I feel grateful that we were able to spot one on our visit to O'Reilly's.
The Road leading up to O'Reilly's ... so beautiful

So cool, that bird is hiding! I clicked on the photo for an up close and personal peek into his world!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable you and your son are!
I know this woman with a Lhama that has the cutest snaggle tooth smile!
Thanks for the lovely comment Elizabeth (I'm blushing) Never been called adorable before!
ReplyDeleteThe bird was such a tiny little fella & when i took the photo I really wasn't sure if I got him, but thankfully I did. So cute hey!
Looks like you had a wonderful time! The photos are just gorgeous! The second one looks like a postcard! :)
ReplyDeleteWe did have a wonderful time Betsy...thanks for visiting & for your lovely comment!
ReplyDeleteYou would think that scrub bird wouldn't be endangered - he certainly blends in well - nice shot. O'Reilly's appears to be an enchanted place and you & your son look like you were thoroughly enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteYeh he camouflages well in with his surroundings & moves real quick too. It is an enchanted place & we did enjoy ourselves..very much!
