🌎 Great Kiskadee (Pitangus sulphuratus) The Great Kiskadee is a large, bulky member of the tyrant flycatcher family, with a stout bill, a black head with a bold white stripe above the eyes, a white throat, and a hidden yellow crown. Its wings and tail are reddish-brown, and its underparts are bright yellow. It is found from the southern United States (Texas) through Central America and down to Argentina. It thrives in various habitats, including open woodlands and urban areas, often near water. Named for its loud "kis-ka-dee" call, the Great Kiskadee is an aggressive and opportunistic omnivore. It hunts insects in mid-air, dives for fish, and eats fruits and small vertebrates. They are territorial and form monogamous pairs. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Ten subspecies are recognised.
