SEE ONE !  There is a kookaburra at the Lincoln Park Zoo.  Since it's too cold to head to the zoo, follow this link to see it and learn more about it.  http://www.lpzoo.org/factsheet.php?contentID=121  (*I checked with the Brookfield Zoo, and sadly they have informed me that they do not have a kookaburra.)

HEAR ONE!  This short YouTube video is a great clip of the silly, laughing call of the kookaburra.   

READ ABOUT ONE!  A kookaburra is featured in Magic Tree House #20, Dingoes at Dinnertime by Mary Pope Osborne.  The Kookaburra Song that we are singing in class is part of the text in the book!

Enjoy!  Mary
