A Black Naped Monarch in Action
A small (15-17 cms) blue colored bird that stands out in its environment and easy to spot. The birds are found in semi / evergreen forests and wooded areas and within them often sighted flying near streams catching the flies in the area. The blue is amazing and in the male is quite deep rich and wonderful. Its habitat is usually green or brown and this is so easy to spot, but very difficult to get close as it is a very shy bird.
The bird is a resident of the Indian subcontinent and found much of the country. The male in this picture sports this rich blue plumage while the female is pale blue in color and lacks the black nape on the head. We sighted a couple of them in our recent trip and almost all the photographers were trying to get a shot. The bird was smaller than many of the leaves in that forest, so it was tough to get a shot. I didn't realize I got some good shots till I saw them in the computer!
