January 14, 2026 - Mayotte Drongo (Dicrurus waldenii) These drongos are found in forests on the island of Mayotte off the east coast of Africa. Hunting from perches, they feed mainly on insects but may also eat small lizards. Pairs build cup-shaped nests from woven plant fibers. Both parents incubate the eggs and care for the chicks. They are classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN due to habitat loss and degradation in their small range.

Getting real tired of Unsplash tagging its animals incorrectly. Idk if users pick them or if they're autogenerated or what but like

this beauty here is tagged as blue jay, bluebird, finch and jay. It is none of those birds; it is very clearly a drongo (short-tailed drongo I think but don't quote me on that I'm not all that familiar with drongos)

Black Drongo, a sleek long-tailed songbird native to Asia. I'll be seeing my first ones in person next week!
