Laughing Kookaburra Holding Lizard at Dawn in along a game trail near Mersin

Laughing Kookaburra Holding Lizard at Dawn

by Lily Pollard

Low sun breaks through a gray midsummer sky, casting a thin band of golden light across the horizon haze above a rain-slicked game trail. A laughing kookaburra perches on a dark, wet branch, its white chest feathers heavy with droplets. The bird grips a small, struggling lizard in its talons, the reptile's scales glistening under the dim morning glow. Steady rain falls in fine, vertical streaks, blurring the distant green foliage of the Mersin landscape. Water beads on the rough bark of the branch, while the bird's sharp yellow eyes reflect the pale, diffused light. One drop slides from the tip of a leaf onto the wet ground below.
