Van Dam's Vanga is a critically endangered and highly localized Vanga species endemic to the dry deciduous forests of northwestern Madagascar. It is characterized by its duller plumage and a less prominent bill compared to its congeners.
Where to spot
Endemic to a few highly fragmented dry deciduous forest patches in northwestern Madagascar.
How to spot
Patience is crucial. Focus on its limited known habitats. Its appearance is somewhat drab, so distinguishing features include its smaller size within the genus and subtle plumage differences, coupled with its distinctive calls.
When to spot
Observation is opportunistic due to its rarity and restricted range, but like other vangas, it is active during daylight.
