December 17, 2022 - Black Drongo (Dicrurus macrocercus) Found in much of southern and parts of eastern Asia, these drongos live in open habitats, including farmland, and in villages, suburbs, parks, and gardens. They feed primarily on insects, but also eat small vertebrates, including reptiles, mammals, birds, and fish, as well as nectar, and possibly seeds, often capturing insects flushed by large mammals, other birds, humans ploughing rice fields, and forest fires. Pairs build shallow cup-shaped nests from small twigs, rootlets, grass stems, plant fibers, spiderwebs, horsehair, and other materials, usually in trees. Both parents incubate the clutches of two to five eggs and care for the chicks, sometimes assisted by other adults.
