Tropical kingbird (Tyrannus melancholicus), Cuffie River
Closely related to the grey kingbird is the tropical kingbird. I have captured it on Tobago before. Sentinel of prominent posts on trees, whence it sallies out to catch its insect food in mid-air, this species breeds from the southern border of the USA to Argentina. The population is mostly concentrated in South America.
