This big feathered bastard put me shame.
Yes, he's the same Emu I first saw on Sunday. He's still hanging around the ranger station at Cedarville.
Tonight with no one around, I wanted to get some better picts and see what he'd actually do if you got close.
I walk towards him.
He eyeballs me and starts walking towards me.
6 feet away, still walking towards me, he starts that noise.
Thump,thump,thump, thump.
I back up a few feet.
He advances.
I back up quicker.
He advances quicker.
I finally walk, briskly back to truck.
He gets bored with me and goes back to looking for food in grass.
During my ride afterwards, thinking about my encounter I vowed upon my return to stand my ground.
He knew I wasn't fooling around when I returned.
I walked towards him but this time he wanted nothing to do with me.
HE retreated this time.
Once again proving the manly man I can be when put to the test.

I posted a reply to your question on my blog. Hope it helps. Also, here's wishing you the best of luck. Sounds like the weather is going to cooperate and it should be a great ride.
Take care,
