NIKON D-3400: 1/2000 Sec at F/5.0 ISO 800; 155MM Taken in my garden on 4/29/2024 AT 5:58 PM. I Love watching these little birds. They are playful and entertaining. From the Audubon Website: When a few Red-whiskered Bulbuls escaped from an aviary in the Miami area in 1960, they found an environment perfectly suited to their needs. The climate was not too different from that of eastern India, where they had originated; and the suburb of Kendall, Florida, was heavily planted with exotic trees and shrubs, providing the bulbuls with abundant berries throughout the year. The birds quickly became established, but they have not spread much beyond Kendall. Another introduced population is common around Honolulu, Hawaii.
