The Nepal Treepie is a distinctive corvid species found in the Himalayan region, characterized by its overall dark grey to black plumage with a rufous undertail. It inhabits high-altitude forests.
Where to spot
Found in the eastern Himalayas, from Nepal through Bhutan, Northeast India, and northern Myanmar, typically in broadleaf and mixed forests at higher elevations.
How to spot
Look in the canopy of hill and montane forests. Listen for its somewhat harsh, chattering calls. Its dark plumage can make it blend in, but its active movements may reveal it.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its range. Activity is generally higher during the mornings and late afternoons.
