The Black-browed Barbet or Müller's Barbet (Megalaima oorti) is a bird belonging to the Asian barbet family, Megalaimidae.
It is 20-23.5 cm long. The plumage is mostly green apart from the head which is patterned with blue, yellow and red. There is a black stripe above the eye. The bill is black and the feet are grey-green. The Chinese name for the bird, "five-colored bird" (五色鳥) refers to the five colors seen on its plumage. Because of its colorful plumage and that its call resembles that of a percussion instrument known as a wooden fish, the species is also referred to as the "spotted monk of the forest" in Taiwan.

We visited a Black-browed Albatross nesting colony on Saunders Island in the Falkland Islands. They nest on the ground, and the nest looks like a small mud chimney. One albatross picked up soil in its bill and threw it over its shoulder. It might have been a younger bird practicing nest building. The downy chicks are light gray with a black eye and black bill. They lack the eyebrow, but they have a thin black line running under the eye from the base of the bill. There was only one chick per nest. When leaving on the zodiac from Saunders Island, we were down at the level of the flying albatrosses who skimmed over the waves, and we were able to look up at them from underneath.
A Scrub-wren seen in the Blue Mountains near Katoomba, NSW, Australia. Not entirely sure of the species; i think it is probably a White-browed Scrub-Wren (Sericornis frontalis) but slight yellow-wash on throat mean could be a female Yellow-throated Scrub-Wren (Sericornis citreogularis). Any help greatly appreciated!

49 Church St, Burlington, Vermont USA • Apparently I don't get out enough. I had no idea what this store was selling in the Burlington Town Center, until I got close enough to read the service list.
White-browed bulbul is about 20 cm long, with a moderately long (8 centimetres or 3 inches) tail. It has olive-grey upperparts and whitish underparts. This species is identifiable by the white supercilium, white crescent below the eye, and dark eyestripe and moustachial stripe. The vent is yellowish and there is some yellow on the chin and moustache. The throat is however largely whitish unlike in the similar looking and sounding yellow-throated bulbul which is found in rockier habitats. Three or four hair-like filoplumes are present on the nape. Sexes are similar in plumage. It is usually detected by the burst of song that it produces from the top of a bush and often dives into the bush becoming difficult to see. The song is a rich, spluttering warble and the bird is more often heard than seen and is slightly darker and has a shorter wing than the nominate race.
Endoscopic Forehead lift
Forehead lifts are also known as brow lifts. The forehead is most often lifted by making a hairline incision and removing excess forehead skin. Men with receding hairline do better with an incision in an existing forehead crease. The best way to lift the brow is endoscopically. Small incisions are made above the hairline to give access to the forehead (similar to laparoscopic abdominal surgery). The forehead is loosened, shifted up, and tacked down. Nothing is removed. The incisions are small so healing is very quick.

The white-browed wagtail is the largest species of wagtail at 21 cm length. It is a slender bird, with the characteristic long, constantly wagging tail of its genus. It has black upperparts, head and breast, with a white supercilium and large white wingbar. Unlike white wagtails it never has white on the forehead. The rest of the underparts are white. The female has the black less intense than in the male. Juveniles are like the females brown-grey where the adult is black.
The white-browed wagtail is a resident breeder in India and is endemic to the Indian subcontinent. It is found south of the Himalayas, east of the Indus system and to the west of Bangladesh. It is rare in the higher altitude regions but has been seen in Ladakh on the edge of the Tibetan plateau. In most of India it is found below 1000 m but in southern India it goes up into the hills up to 2200 m. It is very rare in the Indus valley area. It is absent from the Sind region of Pakistan. It is found in open freshwater wetland habitats. It is one of the few Motacilla wagtails that has adapted well to urban habitats and is often found perched on overhead water storages in residential buildings.
It is a rare winter visitor to Sri Lanka and have possibly extended their range in recent times.
