Drongo

Drongo

There are approximately 20 species of drongo. These birds range in size from 7 to 15 inches and are predominantly black or grey. They have long, pointed wings and ornate tails, some with extended teardrop feathers. Feeding on insects, drongos often follow the movement of larger mammals such as monkeys and deer to eat the insects they disturb. Drongos are found in the tropical regions of the eastern hemisphere.
