Birds

This Blog is dedicated to all the living plant and animals that were subjected to my camera lens on our September 2014 visit to Australia. From Sydney to Brisbane, Cairns/Port Douglas, Darwin, Melbourne and a few points in between, I've got photos. And, lots of them.

White-bellied Sea Eagle - Yellow Water, Kakadu National Park
