The bird is named after its unique facial markings, which resemble spectacles or eyeglasses, with a white band encircling its eyes. The rest of its plumage is black, with some white on the wings. The Spectacled tyrant inhabits open grasslands, marshes, and forest edges, where it feeds on insects and small invertebrates. It is known for its agile flight and its ability to perch on exposed branches or wires while scanning for prey. Conservation status: Least Concern. CC: KEBZ ๐ท: Photo by Beto_MdP via Pixabay 2022
