Spangled Drongo

Dicrurus bracteatus

Least Concern

The Spangled Drongo is an agile, fork-tailed drongo of Australia, New Guinea, and nearby islands. 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.
