Dicruridae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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. The Australasian fantails were thought to be allied with the fantails of the northern hemisphere (both groups share a similar diet and behaviour), and so on.

BillNepal Which is why it always comes as something as a shock when, just after asking "what do you mean the Greater Racket-tailed Drongo’s on the bendy branch with the leaves on it?", you find yourself confronted with a herd of cows covered in blue and red polka dots. It was good when we eventually found five species of Drongo in the heart of jungle darkness, less good when I found at least one species of tick where the sun don't shine. The reason we ran into a herd of brightly painted cows was because we were birding in the middle of Diwali (or Tihar or Deepawali), the second most important Nepali festival of the year. wholewideworld.tripod.com /BillNepal.htm   (4830 words)

Black-nest Swiftlets, in addition to the all-over darkness and square tail, appear the stockiest and most stiff-winged fliers of the group. www.camacdonald.com /birding/tripreports/JavaBali96.html   (5252 words)
