The White-cheeked Barbet (Psilopogon viridis) is a green barbet found only in southern India. Note the dark brown head & the characteristic white patch around the ear-coverts, a white line above the eye, and a white throat. Also note the brown neck and breast with white streaks. This barbet is heard more often than seen with constant calls of “kutrook-kutrook-kutrook” in mid-day hours from all kinds of wooded patches.

The orange-headed thrush is a resident bird in the thrush family. It is common in well-wooded areas of the Indian Subcontinent & Southeast Asia. The species shows a preference for shady damp areas, and like many Geokichla and Zoothera thrushes, can be quite secretive.

An uncommon, four-toed, large-billed, golden-backed woodpecker endemic to the Indian Subcontinent. It inhabits open wooded habitat all over its range, but is often difficult to find. Separated from the group of “small-billed” flamebacks by its much larger bill, a conspicuous white nape with a contrasting black border, and a divided black horizontal stripe below the cheek. Separated from the similarly large-billed Greater Flameback by its black rump, clean white nape, and preference for drier habitat.

The red-whiskered bulbul (Pycnonotus jocosus), or crested bulbul, is a passerine bird found mainly in tropical Asia. It is a resident frugivore throughout its range & has been introduced in many tropical areas of the world where populations have established themselves. It feeds on fruits and small insects. Red-whiskered bulbuls perch conspicuously on trees and have a loud three or four note call. They are very common in hill forests and urban gardens within their range.
