Pictured is a fork-tailed drongo perched on a leafless branch in the Okavango Delta in Botswana, Africa. The small insect-eating bird lives in wooded habitats, particularly woodlands and savannas. The drongo is known for its ability to deceptively mimic other bird alarm calls in order for a certain animal to flee the scene so it can steal their food, a practice known as kleptoparasitism. They are also known for their aggressive and fearless behavior, often attacking and driving away much larger animals, including birds of prey, when their nest is in danger. The photograph was taken from a safari vehicle based at the Atzaro Okavango Camp. The binomial name of the drongo is Dicrurus adsimilis.
