It is not even 9:00 am yet today but we did get our target bird for the day already. We were out the door by 6:00 am to go to the trails to look for the Cassowary out there and we did look but did not find any recent droppings. Going down the road to another trail, we had a female Cassowary just wandering along the roadway. It took its time, a car stopped for it and we had time to look at ti and I even took some photos of it. This non-flying bird is magnificent and looks regal with the casque on its head and the unbelievable colours on its nect. It was totally oblivious of humans and cars and moved slowly along. At this time of year, there are young chicks around but they are plane brown, so we were really lucky to have seen a mature bird. This is a lovely bird. Cassowarys eat anything but they love fruit and this was heading to the banana plantation.
