The description of this YouTube video says that the sound of the Black Drongo is "one of the most common sounds of birding in India." I haven't been to India, though it would be wonderful to bird there some day. In the meantime, I love the way birds become part of the soundtrack of our lives. Where I live, it's the constant racket of the omnipresent Hadada Ibis. And in the South Indian state of Goa where this video was made, it's the Black Drongo. With some of the words eBird uses to describe the calls of the Black Drongo, I wrote a haiku for today.
Chatter, flute, whistle
Singing pair of Black Drongos
Soundtrack of morning
