WIthin the Indian subcontinent, Ashy Drongo (Dicrurus leucophaeus) breeds in the Himalayas and in parts of central India during summer. During winter, Ashy Drongo migrates to lower altitudes and latitudes, and occurs in any wooded habitat across the Himalayan foothills, NE India and the peninsula.
Many subspecies of Ashy Drongo also occur throughout East and Southeast Asia, most of which migrate south during winter. A particularly interesting subspecies, the Chinese White-faced Ashy Drongo, migrates in small numbers to the Andaman and Nicobar islands.
