Birder's Bonus 98 Sikkim Style

I got some nice pictures of birds on the recent trip to Sikkim (NE India on the border with Tibet). Included were a Verditer flycatcher (Eumylas thalassina), a Red-billed leiothrix (Leiothrix lutea), an Oriental magpie robin  (Copsychus saularis), a Dusky warbler (Phylloscopus fuscatus) and courting Red-vented bulbuls (Pycnonotus cafer). There were also a number of currently unidentified birds.

What's In a Critter's Name? 11. Comma butterfly

The Comma butterfly ( Polygonia c-album) gets its name from the punctuation-like mark, on the underside of its wings.
