The Crow-billed Drongo is a robust, all-black drongo characterized by its relatively thick, crow-like bill and moderately forked tail. It is an agile and powerful insectivore, often seen catching prey in flight or gleaning from foliage. This species is known for its strong vocalizations.
Where to spot
Found across Southeast Asia, including parts of India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, and Indonesia. It primarily inhabits tropical moist lowland forests, forest edges, and mangroves.
How to spot
Look for its entirely glossy black plumage and distinctive thick bill. Its tail is forked but not as deeply as some other drongos. Listen for its loud, often harsh, and varied calls.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours. It is a migratory species in some parts of its range, breeding in northern areas and moving south during winter.
