Spotted
The Racket-tailed Treepie is a striking corvid species, easily identified by its exceptionally long tail feathers that end in prominent 'rackets'. Its glossy black plumage adds to its distinctive appearance.
Where to spot
Found across Southeast Asia, from Myanmar and Thailand through Indochina to Peninsular Malaysia and Indonesia, inhabiting evergreen and mixed deciduous forests.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper canopy of mature forests. Its long tail is unmistakable, even at a distance. Listen for its loud, varied calls, which often reveal its presence.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its range. Optimal viewing is during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or late afternoon.

The elongated 'racket' plumes of this treepie are not present from hatching; they grow out as the bird matures, reaching their full length in adults.
