Day 284

RED-VENTED BULBUL, Pycnonotus Cafer (Linnaeus).  I photographed this bird at the Chintamani Kar Bird Sanctuary, Kolkata’s Little Secret. You can see it’s website at:  http://www.kolkatabirds.com/ckbs.htm  I identified it with several books including From “The Book of Indian Birds Salim Ali and “A Photographic Guide to Birds of Bangladesh” by Ronald R. Halder.  One of my friends is a friend of Ron, and has at least one photo in Harder’s book.  The book by Halder I have is actually an autographed copy I borrowed from a friend.

Day 283

McDONALD’S FAMILY RESTAURANT!  This is how it is spelled in Bangla.  This was the sign for McDonald’s on Park St. in Kolkata.  Their fries are just as tasty as anywhere in the world, that McDonald’s has a restaurant.
