The Black-crowned Tchagra is a medium-sized, boldly patterned bushshrike of sub-Saharan Africa and the arid zones of North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, with a distinctive black crown stripe, white supercilium, and rufous wings. It inhabits dry scrub, thickets, savanna edges, and gardens. It feeds on large insects, lizards, and small rodents, foraging on the ground and in low shrubs.
