Andaman Drongo

Dicrurus modestus

The Andaman Drongo (Dicrurus modestus) is a medium-sized passerine bird native to the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. It is known for its glossy black plumage, distinctive forked tail, and melodious calls. This bird is often found in dense forests and mangroves, where it forages for insects and small invertebrates. The Andaman Drongo is a skilled flier, capable of agile maneuvers in the dense forest canopy. While its population size is not well-documented, it is believed to be relatively stable within its limited range. However, habitat loss and potential threats from invasive species may pose conservation concerns for this species.
