One evening, I heard this big screaming battle right outside my kitchen window--very loud koel cries. [Koels are our local cuckoos]. I took a look out and I saw these two male koels on the guava tree outside having a face-off. I ran outside with my camera and tried to come up as close to them as possible. The only sign they gave of being aware of my presence was by keeping quiet. But neither was willing to relinquish his place. Here is a shot of them and a movie clip too.
If you click here it gives you the koel's cries--what I was able to get.
My Koels could be heard early December but they are quiet or have moved on. I like hearing their calls.
