Where to spot
Endemic to the Western Ghats mountain range in southwestern India, primarily in dense evergreen and semi-evergreen forests.
How to spot
Focus on the mid to upper canopy of dense forests. Its contrasting black and white plumage makes it relatively conspicuous once spotted. Listen for its distinctive calls, often a loud and varied 'chack-chack' or whistles.
When to spot
Present year-round in its habitat. Best observed during the early morning or late afternoon when they are actively foraging.

This treepie species often engages in 'anting' behavior, where it rubs ants on its feathers, possibly to remove parasites or to soothe skin irritation.
