101. Ashy Drongo, 灰卷尾, Dicrurus leucophaeus, ハイイロオウチュウ
A slim, medium-sized drongo with bright red eyes and gray plumage that is almost black in the western parts of its range and quite pale in the eastern parts of its range; eastern birds also often have an oval-shaped pale facial patch. It has a long slim tail with a deep fork. Common in wooded habitats where it sallies for insects and aggressively chases other birds that may compete for food or nectar. Most birds migrate south every winter. Similar to Black Drongo, but slimmer and usually in different habitats. Calls include harsh and sweet notes, and can mimic some bird species poorly. [Ebird]
一种体型纤细、中等大小的卷尾鸟，拥有明亮的红眼和灰色羽毛，在其分布范围的西部区域羽毛几乎呈黑色，而在东部区域羽毛较为浅色；东部的鸟类通常还具有一个椭圆形的浅色脸斑。其尾巴修长纤细，呈深深的叉状。这种鸟类常见于有林地的栖息地，会捕食昆虫，并积极驱赶可能与其争夺食物或花蜜的其他鸟类。大多数个体每年冬天都会向南迁徙。与黑卷尾相似，但体型更为纤细，且通常出现在不同的栖息地。叫声包括粗哑和清脆的音调，有时还能模仿其他鸟类的叫声，但模仿能力较差。

It is noticeably larger than the Ashy Drongo found in Malaysia. We were fortunate to spot it catching a wasp (recently, I got stung by a wasp in Sumatra—glad this bird took care of one for me… just joking!). This bird is quite common at Baihualing and can be seen from several different hides.
它明显比在马来西亚发现的灰卷尾更大。我们很幸运看到它捕到了一只黄蜂（我最近在苏门答腊被黄蜂蜇了——很高兴这只鸟帮我“报仇”了……开玩笑的！）。这种鸟在百花岭非常常见，可以在几个不同的隐蔽点看到它。
