Perched and Pretty White-spectacled Bulbul (Pycnonotus xanthopygos), Tulul adh-Dhahab, on the Zarqa River, Jerash Governorate, Jordan
These Bulbuls are just undeniably great subjects... I feel like I am posting too many shots of them but... what to do? I like them :-)
It's also interesting to see the seasonal differences down near the Dead Sea at well below Sea Level here (- 133 M = - 436 Ft) and just 40 minutes from Amman (950 M = 3,117 Ft). Here, as you can see in the photo, the trees are budding up and where we live in Amman, it's still cold, rainy and even snowy.
I also have checked and, as I thought, during the winter, there's almost 5% more oxygen in the air down here so far below sea level (summer is like 3.5%)!!
This Bulbul certainly likes the warmer weather down here. Many birds up on the plateau come down-slope to winter...
