    I could not stop taking picture of this Red-whiskered Bulbul. I like them and this one seems to like me too.

    red-whiskered and chinese bulbuls

    usually when the red-whiskered fly in the chinese bulbul flies out, but this one stayed around long enough for me to get this photo of them both in the frame.

    I had been photographing the bulbuls bathing in the heat of the day and didn't notice the munias sneak in until I looked at the photos later.

    Red-wiskered bulbul, non native now living here since 70's

    Red-whiskered Bulbul has a distinct red ear-patch and red tail coverts. This bulbul can weigh from 23-42 gm. The birds are brownish above and white below their stomach region, from birth until an age six months. Head is black with a pointed crest and there is a red patch, the "whiskers", behind...

    Red-whiskered Bulbul

    These birds used to be very common around here until several years ago when they were trapped by poachers to sell as pet birds. With the new law which made keeping Red-whiskered Bulbul a crime. The situation get better. We see them again in our garden. Even make their nest in our garden.

    A small population of these has been established in the Pasadena area. I've seen them at the Arboretum and the nearby Huntington Library/Garden.

    Bulbul Forum Frenzy

    Seems things got a little frenetic when it came time for a break (photo taken from a 4' away inside a mosquito netting with no camouflage - these birds are generally fairly skittish)
  19. Red-whiskered Bulbul

    Red-whiskered Bulbul

    Sorry to repeat the bird, but it just took me as being a nice picture. My first try at a new hide - coloured a mosquito net green & sat inside with no camouflage - the birds came within 2' of me, just didn't notice me (but wrong lens), Greater Coucal,Light-vented Bulbul, Japanese White-eye...
  20. Red-whiskered Bulbul

    Red-whiskered Bulbul

    Not on this occasion, but saw a group of about 20 of these feeding together with Tree Sparrows (30 or so), Light vented Bulbuls (several) & several others species, in a rural chicken pen

    We saw these birds at two different places in Kendall: the Royal Palm Tennis Court, and the Elementary School, where this photo was taken.
  25. Non-Native - Red Whiskered Bulbul

    Non-Native - Red Whiskered Bulbul

    This is a non-native bird to the US. (I know someone will tell me where they are native too - too tired to look it up right now). They are believed to be escapees. There were at least a dozen at this botanical garden. I know bulbuls have really caused a lot of damage to crops in Hawaii.
