    Not so common to JungleDragon, since this is a species intro :)

    I remember on one of our first days in Madagascar seeing a Drongo for the first time. Approaching it with great interest and afraid to miss the moment. Only later I learned they are everywhere. Doesn't matter....still a lovely bird.     Posted 12 years ago
