A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Dromaius novaehollandiae
The second largest living bird by height. The was a captive emu at a ranch on the highway. We had seen a wild one earlier attracted to the desert museum's captives and apparently wanting to join the group - it displayed its speed as it raced around the pen. By contrast this one was calm and seemed to be studying us
Unlike the wild bird, this captive bird could only be photographed in closeup
