Pycnonotus cafer (Linnaeus, 1766)
Red-vented Bulbul

The Red-vented Bulbul was not listed by Clapp (1999) and has apparently not been reported from Kwajalein Atoll. The photos below are from Christina Sylvester, who saw several individuals on the Marshall Islands atoll of Majuro, about 430 km from Kwajalein, in November, 2018. The bird is native to south and southeast Asia but has spread to a number of other parts of the world. It is an apparent recent accidental introduction to Majuro (see http://www.iucngisd.org/gisd/species.php?sc=138).
