	Asian Paradise Flycatcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Asian Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi), also known as the Common Paradise Flycatcher, is a medium-sized passerine bird.

	Bird Ecology Study Group, Nature Society (Singapore): Arrival of the Asian Paradise-flycatcher
		Asian Paradise-flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi), also known as the Common Paradise Flycatcher, is a migratory bird wintering in tropical Asia.
		Asian Paradise Flycatchers are in reality not flycatchers, to begin with, but are closely related to the monarches, philentomas, which in turn are closer to the crows, yes the big bad house crow, and other 'crows' like drongos, orioles, cuckooshrikes etc etc, than to the true flycatchers.
		At a biogeographical level, it would not be apt to say that the asian paradise flycatcher is purely a migrant to tropical asia, as many resident populations actually occur here.

	Monarchinae
		The Monarchinae are a subfamily of the bird family Dicruridae, which is a relatively recent grouping of a number of seemingly very different birds, mostly from the southern hemisphere, which are more closely related than they at first appear.
		Many of the 139 species making up the family were previously assigned to other groups, largely on the basis of general morphology or behaviour.
		With the new insights generated by the DNA-DNA hybridisation studies of Sibley and his co-workers toward the end of the 20th century, however, it became clear that these apparently unrelated birds were all descended from a common ancestor: the same crow-like ancestor that gave rise to the drongos.

		A tremendous population crash of all Guam birds, including the flycatcher, took place in the 1980s, primarily due to the accidental introduction of the Brown Tree Snake Boiga irregularis from New Guinea.

		The road has palm trees and eucalyptus that were good for woodpeckers and passerines and the fields have wires with finches, munias and bee-eaters etc. There were at least two pairs of marsh harriers nesting in the fields, and the fences at the far end were also worth constant checking.
		On this road opposite a couple of larger houses is a large mango tree on the edge of the remnant jungle that was very productive and gave us our best views of paradise flycatchers (several at different stages of plumage) at every visit with peacocks calling (invisibly) from the hillside.
