Tiny Tyrant 3I4998
The Tropical Pewee is a small flycatcher of Central and South America. It is quite similar to the Eastern Wood Pewee of North America. Like most flycathcers its diet consist mainly of insects, many of which it catches while in flight. Tyrant Flycatchers are considered the largest family of birds. Despite this birdʻs small size it will defend its nest very aggressively against much larger birds. This seems to be a fairly common characteristic. The little bird pictured here, may not be the serene passerine that the photo suggests, but rather a tiny tyrant. #TropicalPewee
