The Red-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer) is a member of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is resident breeder in tropical southern Asia from India and Sri Lanka east to Burma and southwestern China.
The Red-vented Bulbul is easily identified by its short crest giving the head a squarish appearance. The body is dark brown with a scaly pattern while the head is darker or black. The rump is white while the vent is red. The black tail is tipped in white. The Himalayan races have a more prominent crest and are more streaked on the underside.
This is a bird of dry scrub, open forest, plains and cultivated lands. In its native range it is rarely found in mature forests. A study based on 54 localities in India concluded that vegetation is the single most important factor that determines the distribution of the species.

This is one of several shots I took for P365, but never used. My intention was to re-take them later if I was struggling for ideas. Thankfully I didn't need them.

So here's C'coa "doing a Marilyn" on our dining room heater vent. She sat there for five minutes or so like this and only stopped when Theo and Herhsey started an audible fight in the next room.

Moorea — Moʻoreʻa (graphie de l'Académie tahitienne) ou Mooreà (graphie Raapoto), prononcé : /mo.ʔo.re.ʔa/ — est une île de Polynésie française qui fait partie des îles du Vent dans l'archipel de la Société. Située face à Tahiti, elle est le chef-lieu de la commune de Moorea-Maiao
L'île était jadis appelée ʻAimeho-nui-i-te-rara-varu. Le nom tahitien actuel de Moʻoreʻa se traduit par « lézard jaune », de moʻo « lézard » et reʻa « jaune ». Ce nom tire ses origines de la légende du lézard jaune, en provenance de l'île voisine de Moʻoreʻa appelée Maiʻao.
La légende raconte que dans un passé lointain, sur l'île de Maiʻao, vivait un jeune couple aux noms de Temaiātea vahine et Temaiātea tāne. Temaiātea vahine tomba enceinte et accoucha d'un œuf. Un soir, la femme eut une vision dans son sommeil, celle de donner naissance à un enfant de couleur jaune. Une fois réveillé, elle s'empressa de le raconter à son compagnon. Celui-ci partit observer l'œuf, et se rendit compte que l'œuf avait éclos, et qu'il s'agissait d'un bébé lézard jaune. Temaiātea tāne lui donna le nom de Moʻoreʻa. Le couple le nourrit jusqu'au moment où il devint gigantesque. Ces derniers prirent peur et décidèrent de fuir l'île à bord d'une pirogue en direction de soleil levant. Le lézard jaune Mo’ore’a se sentant abandonné par ses parents, et étant terriblement affamé, se jeta à la mer et nagea vers le soleil levant pour tenter de retrouver ses parents. Épuisé par les courants, il se noya et son corps dériva sur le rivage de Vai ana’e à ʻAimeho. Deux pêcheurs furent à l'origine de la découverte de son corps sur la plage. Un grand prêtre serait à l'origine de ce changement de nom, sur un marae. Il donna à l'île de ʻAimeho le nom de Moʻoreʻa.
Située à 17 kilomètres à l'ouest-nord-ouest de Tahiti, Moʻoreʻa en est séparée par un profond chenal dépassant par endroits les 1 500 mètres.
De forme triangulaire, « l'île sœur » de Tahiti possède deux baies principales : la baie d'Ōpūnohu (ce nom vient des mots tahitiens ʻōpū : « ventre » et nohu : « poisson-pierre ») et la baie de Cook (du nom du célèbre navigateur James Cook).
Le tour de l'île fait 62 kilomètres.
D'une superficie de 133,50 km2, elle compte plus de 16 000 habitants regroupés dans plusieurs villages, principalement sur le littoral : Teʻavaro, Maharepa, Paopao, Papetoʻai, Haʻapiti, ʻĀfareaitu, Tiʻaiʻa et Vaiʻare.
Moorea — Moʻoreʻa (spelling of the Tahitian Academy) or Mooreà (Raapoto spelling), pronounced /mo.ʔo.re.ʔa/ — is an island in French Polynesia, part of the Windward Islands in the Society Islands archipelago. Located opposite Tahiti, it is the capital of the commune of Moorea-Maiao.
The island was formerly called ʻAimeho-nui-i-te-rara-varu. The current Tahitian name Moʻoreʻa translates as "yellow lizard," from moʻo "lizard" and reʻa "yellow." This name originates from the legend of the yellow lizard, which came from the neighboring island of Moʻoreʻa called Maiʻao.
Legend has it that long ago, on the island of Maiʻao, a young couple named Temaiātea vahine and Temaiātea tāne lived. Temaiātea vahine became pregnant and gave birth to an egg. One night, the woman had a vision in her sleep: she would give birth to a yellow child. Upon waking, she immediately told her partner. He went to examine the egg and discovered that it had hatched into a baby yellow lizard. Temaiātea tāne named it Moʻoreʻa. The couple nursed it until it grew enormous. Frightened, they decided to flee the island in a canoe, heading towards the rising sun. Feeling abandoned by his parents and terribly hungry, the yellow lizard Mo’ore’a threw himself into the sea and swam towards the rising sun to try and find them. Exhausted by the currents, he drowned, and his body washed ashore at Vai ana’e on ʻAimeho. Two fishermen were responsible for discovering his body on the beach. A high priest is said to be responsible for the name change, which took place at a marae (sacred site). He gave the island of ʻAimeho the name Moʻoreʻa.
Located 17 kilometers west-northwest of Tahiti, Moʻoreʻa is separated from it by a deep channel that in places exceeds 1,500 meters.
Triangular in shape, Tahiti's "sister island" has two main bays: Ōpūnohu Bay (named after the Tahitian words ʻōpū, meaning "belly," and nohu, meaning "stonefish") and Cook's Bay (named after the famous navigator James Cook).
The island's circumference is 62 kilometers.
With an area of 133.50 km², it has a population of over 16,000, living in several villages, primarily along the coast: Teʻavaro, Maharepa, Paopao, Papetoʻai, Haʻapiti, ʻĀfareaitu, Tiʻaiʻa, and Vaiʻare.
