A Flash of Blue: The Stunning Indochinese Blue Flycatcher

A Striking Blue Bird: The Indochinese Blue Flycatcher
The Indochinese Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis sumatrensis) is a stunning bird with a vibrant plumage that makes it a delight for birdwatchers in Southeast Asia. Here's a closer look at its key characteristics:
Appearance: The male Indochinese Blue Flycatcher is a sight to behold. He boasts a bright, ocean-blue upper body with a darker face for contrast. His underparts are a beautiful orange, with a clear division between the orange throat and breast and the white belly. The female is overall brownish, but with hints of blue on her head and back. Some females even appear blue-grey. Look for a faint eyering on both sexes, and don't forget the blue tail, a common feature for both males and females.
Habitat: Primarily a creature of the lowlands, the Indochinese Blue Flycatcher can also be found in the foothills. It favors open, dry forests, especially forest edges and scrubland. In rare cases, you might spot them in coastal forests and even mangroves.
Feeding: As their name suggests, these birds are insectivores. They perch on branches, keeping a watchful eye for flying insects. Once they spot prey, they take flight and snatch it mid-air in a quick and agile maneuver.
Song and Call: The Indochinese Blue Flycatcher's song is a delightful melody. Imagine a series of clear, pleasant whistles that rise and fall in pitch. Their call is a short burst of dry, smacking sounds that can be described as a "chit, chit." Thumbnail by Him Khunny.
