where it is tolerably common. In the Carnatic it chiefly frequents 
hilly districts clad with low jungle. In the Deccan it frequents, by 
preference, the cultivated lands near villages. Till an hour or two 
after sunrise, it may be seen seated on the top of some tree, after 
which it sallies forth, sailing about at a moderate height in general
