| Female Cassowary Drinking |
Well, I had the best intentions. I have just returned from my trip to Australia where I spent ten days following wild cassowaries through the Queensland rainforest - a project that I fully intended to document on this blog. That is, until the logic board on my laptop failed, rendering the computer unusable. Since I use this to store and edit pictures - and to post to blogs etc. - I was silenced. I picked up the repaired laptop on my way to the airport - on the way home...
Tech discussion as follows:
Me : "What makes the logic board go bad?"
Tech-guy: "No idea."
Me: "Sounds illogical to me."
Anyhow, I will try to reconstruct some of the events of the trip in the next week or so as I get the pictures edited.
This image is of an adult female - the only one I saw during my stay, drinking water out of a rainforest pool. Cassowaries cannot lap up water like a cat, but must scoop it up with their bills, then tilt their head back to let it run down their throat. I was pleased to be able to show this.

Oh, too bad! There's no logic to computers, despite what techies always say.
ReplyDeleteI have seen these guys in the zoo in Sydney, I wish I had seen a wild one. They are amazing, that blue is so vivid.
