This pair of Kookaburras regularly visit a holiday house near Batemans Bay. I would appreciate any advice as to distinguishing between the male and female. Click on the thumbnails for a larger view.
Although the head structure appears slightly different, Kookaburras have the ability to flatten their head feathers, so I don't think this is a differentiator. The bird on the left has slightly darker head colouring - and the dark stripe below the eye is slightly
darker, longer and more rectangular than the stripe on its mate. Any tips on gender identification would be appreciated.
