Great Kiskadee
Pitangus sulphuratus
The adult Great Kiskadee is a bold flycatcher of open woodland, forest edges, riversides, farms, parks, and towns across much of the Americas. It eats large insects, small vertebrates, fruit, and even fish taken from the water’s surface. Adults perch conspicuously, sally out after prey, and vigorously defend territories with loud calls and direct chases. A notable fact is that this species is unusually versatile for a flycatcher, often hunting near water as well as in the air.
