Nemesis Bird

Red-whiskered Bulbul in Kendall, FL


It has taken me over a year but finally I can officially say that I got the best of my nemesis bird, the Red-whiskered Bulbul. On February 21st I was woke up in Kendall, FL and decided to give the Bulbul one more try. I have searched the Baptist Hospital neighborhood in Kendall on multiple occasions but always I came up empty. So imagine my delight when I almost gave up on Feb. 21st but before I made my turn out of the neighborhood I heard an unusual bird calling. I jumped out of my car (almost before putting it in park) and saw not 1 but 4 Red-whiskered Bulbuls. It was a great sighting and a wonderful end to this nemesis bird.
