May 15, 2023 - Glossy-backed Drongo (Dicrurus divaricatus) Found in parts of central Africa, these drongos live in a variety of wooded habitats, including savannas and open woodlands, but not dense forests. Their diet is primarily large insects, but also sometimes includes small birds and fish and occasionally nectar. Though they usually hunt in short flights from a perch, they also forage on the ground, steal food from other birds, often by making false alarm calls, and follow ants, other birds, and large animals to capture fleeing insects. They build saucer-shaped nests from plant stems, lichen, rootlets, tendrils, spiderwebs, and other materials. Both parents feed the chicks and aggressively defend the nest from predators.

Fork-tailed Drongo. Common savanna resident, uses a variety of harsh shrill calls. It can mimic calls of raptors, pearl-spotted owlet, and cats and predatory mammals. This is done to pirate food from other animals as they drop their prize to escape from the false danger.

I heard you all like works in progress?
Again, I won't be able to post the finished pieces of this project for probably another year, but these little glimpses into the stages for some of the birds might help tide you over. This is, or will be, a Black Drongo - I'd say it's around 50% complete at this point.

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.

I've just learnt drongo is a type of bird as well as an insult.
