As a mainlander, Java sparrows (also known as Java finches) were one of the most exciting birds to see in Hawaii. They're roughly the size of our common, European-derived sparrows (perhaps a bit larger) and they're present in relatively great numbers, yet their appearance is much more vibrant. The black head with white cheeks is eye-catching, but the red beak and red eye line are also stunning to see in person. (But perhaps only to people who do not live in areas to which these birds are common - I nearly knocked my wife over with excitement when I first saw one of these birds, but she thought it was rather plain and boring.)
I saw birds of this coloration as well as more drab-looking ones and assumed that it was sexual dimorphism at work, but upon reading further apparently this is not the case - drab-looking Java sparrows are apparently juveniles. Males have a more pronounced beak than females, and the red of the beak and eye line is deeper. Compared to some of my other pictures of Java sparrows, I'd guess that this is a male.
Shot with an Olympus E-520 and Zuiko Digital 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6, hand-held with IS mode 1 enabled. This picture was processed from RAW, and was cropped to make the thumbnail more appealing (shameless, I know). Focal length of 300mm (600mm equivalent), ISO 800 and an aperture of f/5.6 (max aperture) were used to counter clouds that obscured the sunlight.

Borobudur, or Barabudur, is a 8th-century Mahayana Buddhist monument near Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The monument comprises six square platforms topped by three circular platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. A main dome, located at the center of the top platform, is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues seated inside perforated stupa. The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From: wikipedia.
Java is the world's most densely populated regions (population: 136 million). It is home to 60% of Indonesia's population. Much of Indonesian history took place on Java; it was the centre of powerful Hindu-Buddhist empires, Islamic sultanates, the core of the colonial Dutch East Indies, and was at the centre of Indonesia's campaign for independence. The island dominates Indonesian social, political and economic life. More information on wikipedia.
