This is the black-crowned night heron is the one that was in the background of the heron flyby from yesterday. I liked this shot with the beak open, looks like it's laughing.
The feeling you get when there is no pain. I captured this very low point of view of these gifts from the Pacific Ocean. iPhone image.

Laughing Kookaburra (wiki)
It was on the clothes line in our backyard this morning.
They laugh. It was slightly rainy yesterday evening and they were laughing so seriously. When they laugh, they laugh so super hard that if you hear multiple kookaburras laughing together you'll laugh so much till falling down 😆

*They're a type of kingfisher but so big.
Much bigger than our parrots.
The Laughing Gull is the dominant species on the Texas coast. They are year-long residents along the Gulf coast and up the Atlantic coastline. They breed as far north as the coast of Maine. They will winter as far south as both coasts of northern South America.
Notice how nearly identical this gull is to the Bonaparte's Gull, except the bill and legs on the BG are dark red and the eye ring is a bit more pronounced. Its call is different, too, as it does sound like a laugh.
I found this bird in Texas. Like many gulls, it didn't seem to mind people. I was happy he posed for me. The sky was overcast, so I didn't get any gleaming light on the bird, but he still presents well here.
This kookaburra was sitting in the tree in our front yard. The photo was taken through our open balcony door and the kookaburra was at about eye level.
