They were seen on BBQ glassland/tree (down the valley) near to the river (and bridge). Were they the same? Would they be Crested Myna? But there was no obvious feather between bill and forehead. The bill looked thicker. The colour was brownish and white too. It was quite different from the "black crested myna" I had seen. The fourth photo showed a "darker" mask around eye (not in shadow). They should not be black bird because there were obvious white feathers near the back. http://everwell.dynu.com:3880/BirdWatching/20030912BridePool/P9120442.jp g http://everwell.dynu.com:3880/BirdWatching/20030912BridePool/P9120438.jp g http://everwell.dynu.com:3880/BirdWatching/20030912BridePool/P9120453.jp g http://everwell.dynu.com:3880/BirdWatching/20030912BridePool/P9120455.jp g http://everwell.dynu.com:3880/BirdWatching/20030912BridePool/P9120456.jp g http://everwell.dynu.com:3880/BirdWatching/20030912BridePool/P9120460.jp g http://everwell.dynu.com:3880/BirdWatching/20030912BridePool/P9120462.jp g http://everwell.dynu.com:3880/BirdWatching/20030912BridePool/P9120463.jp g   Note : Higher resolution pictures (2288X1712) are available upon request. « Last Edit: May 28th, 2004, 1:39pm by BBS Moderators » Logged Mike Kilburn Guest Re: Crested Myna ???? « Reply #1 on: Sep 14th, 2003, 12:49am » Quote Modify Remove Hi Spoonbill   you are right . Thy are juvenile Crested Mynah. Young birds sho no crest.   Mike Logged bfspoonbill BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Posts: 105 Re: Crested Myna ???? « Reply #2 on: Sep 14th, 2003, 8:03am » Quote Modify Thanks a lot.   But I just wonder why the "crest" is not there. When will the "crest" be seen? Adult only? I read from book that the "crest" may disappear if the bird is changing to new feather. When will this be?
