Bronzed Drongo

A Bronzed Drongo on a Moringa Oleifera tree growing in the backyard. It is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree of the family Moringaceae, native to the Indian subcontinent. The bird is a resident in the forests of the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It captures insects flying in the shade of the forest canopy by making aerial sallies from its prominent perch. Very similar to the other Drongos of the region but somewhat smaller and more compact with differences in the fork depth and the patterns of gloss on the feathers.
