Media notes

As I was recording another call, a purple grenadier flew right in front of me while chirping, so I copied and trimmed it to include here. To be clearer, this is an excerpt from the audio bite attached to the White-browed Robin-chat in this checklist. Unfortnately, it's almost impossible to get a recording in my yard that doesn't have bulbul sounds in it.

Observation details

Seemed to be chasing bulbuls off of their perches (behavior seen three times in two different trees). Recorded chirping while flying between perches.

Additional species

  • Common Bulbul (Dark-capped) Pycnonotus barbatus [tricolor Group]
