About this species

The Long-Tailed Broadbill is one of the most distinctive birds of the Himalayan foothills — a stout-bodied, green, yellow, and blue bird with a striking face pattern and an impossibly long, narrow blue tail. It moves through forests in noisy, active flocks. Eaglenest and the Mishmi Hills are premier locations. See Long-Tailed Broadbills in the Himalayan foothills.
