Shining Drongo

Dicrurus atripennis

Least Concern

The Shining Drongo is an agile, fork-tailed drongo of African and Asian woodland, forest, and open-country habitats. It sallies from exposed perches to catch flying insects, sometimes following large animals or mixed flocks to steal flushed prey. Drongos are bold defenders of nests and frequent mimics of other bird calls.
