bobolink2014 22 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 This is a black bird. I have 2 different birds, but I believe they are the same. My guess is a Fork-tailed Drongo only because I can't find other black birds in Zimbabwe. But I could be missing something. I couldn't really get a nice shot of a red-eye so that is why I'm hesitant and need some ID help. Thanks Pictures 1 & 2 are on bird Pictures 3-5 are the second bird. https://forums.whatbird.com/index.php?/gallery/image/794-zimbabwe-black-bird-pix-1png/ https://forums.whatbird.com/index.php?/gallery/image/790-zimbabwe-black-bird-pic-2png/ https://forums.whatbird.com/index.php?/gallery/image/791-zimbabwe-black-bird-pic-3png/ https://forums.whatbird.com/index.php?/gallery/image/792-zimbabwe-black-bird-pic-4png/ https://forums.whatbird.com/index.php?/gallery/image/793-zimbabwe-black-bird-pic-5png/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor L. 459 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Let me preface this by saying that I am no expert, and am merely scrolling through my Birds of the World subscription to try and find matches. The first bird reminded me first of a drongo, but doesn't match either of the species present. For the first bird, I am going to go with Southern Black Flycatcher. The second bird seems like it could be the same species. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobolink2014 22 Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Thanks for your efforts trying to find a match on this. I went through all the bird pictures in ebird in the area, and I just didn't have a good enough picture to tell. Maybe a flycatcher, it's been so long I can't tell if there was a water source near by. At the time, I didn't prepare myself enough in advance to try and see what I could be looking at. But I'm just grateful I had the opportunity to goto a country not often visited. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
