Field Notes
Description:
spotted in McAllen Texas.
Adult Great Kiskadees are one of the largest of the tyrant flycatchers. They can measure from 21 to 27 cm (8.3 to 11 in) in length and weigh 52 to 68 g (1.8 to 2.4 oz). The head is black with a strong white eyestripe and a concealed yellow crown stripe. The upperparts are brown, and the wings and tail are brown with usually strong rufous fringes.
Notes:
The call is an exuberant BEE-tee-WEE, and the bird has an onomatopoeic name in different languages and countries: In Brazil its popular name is bem-te-vi and in Spanish-speaking countries it is often bien-te-veo ("I see you well!").
