Muller's Barbet (Black-browed Barbet)

Megalaima oorti

Description:

I was lucky that this bird didn't notice me as he was pecking away at the side of a tree. I have a video as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzkHr29um... They often emit a very repetitive sounding clucking noise which I think they use to find one another

Habitat:

Everywhere in Taiwan, including downtown Taipei. Found more often in the forested hillsides and on university campuses.
