Series: Eye-to-Eye, 2
Posted on 23 Sep ’10 by Earl
With available light, this particular Emu appeared to have the “devils eyes” and might I add the temperament to go along with them. Pushy, forward and fearless would all go into describing it’s behavior.
I found it to be scary…I mean, just look at those eyes. For this same reason, I’ll take full responsibility for the focus not being spot on. 
Earl, this guy is definitely scary! And using the S90 you had to come really close – I don’t know if I would have dared to do so. I think I might have hidden behind a nice have 70-300, allowing for some additional meters distance but of course loosing that view into the environment behind the bird.
Markus, it certainly wasn’t a shot I lingered about on.
I got chased by an Emu once… luckily, managed to make a check getaway on the back on a ute. I applaud your bravery!
Bravery is when you get away with it, stupidity is when you get caught.
Not someone who will have a deep conversation with you. LOL
Monte, why not deep? I guess that beak has some inches, hasn’t it?
LOL, your right Markus.
Marty, even if the Emu had something to “say” I wasn’t hanging around to listen — I did mention the scared part didn’t I?
I’m more like chicken. LOL
That is one set of evil eyes!
