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. Spectacular forest bird — mixed flock birding guide and Northeast India tours.

Plan field days around Mar–Nov: light is often strongest at dawn and dusk, when many mammals and birds are most active. Work with a naturalist who knows local movement patterns — they will position you ethically while improving your odds of a encounter in Namdapha National Park.
