Birdielog - June 2007 (latter)

These days, it seems, there is not much to report from our avian friends. It's too early for our winter denizens to have arrived, and breeding season is all but over for quite a few of our residents.

Still, I do see many of our friends - sometimes in the unlikeliest of circumstances, and it is a joy each time.

The Rose-Ringed Parakeet situation has improved dramatically - their cries rent the air as often as they used to. But that short interlude where they seemed out-of-sight and out-of-listen was truly scary.

Well, here's the listing for the latter half of June and pretty much the first half of July.

"The Cold Reading"

Sighted for sure:

• Brahminy Kite
• Spotted Dove
• Oriental Magpie-Robin (since I have seen the nest, I think I will continue to be blessed with sightings all the year through and not just at breeding time)
• Red-Whiskered Bulbul
• Great Tit
• House Swift
• Common Tailorbird
• Purple-Rumped Sunbird

Heard for sure:

• Oriental White-Eye
• Tickell's Flowerpecker
