Tyrant Flycatchers
View allAll Photos Tagged tyrant
The masked water tyrant (fluvicola nengeta) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in its major range in eastern and southeastern Brazil in the caatinga and extreme eastern cerrado, and also Atlantic coastal regions; a second smaller disjunct range occurs on the Pacific side of South America in western Ecuador, and coastal border regions of northwest Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical mangrove forests, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, and heavily degraded former forest.
Masked water-tyrants eat mostly insects like butterflies, dragonflies, grasshoppers and larvae.

It's undeniable that those words are unreliable,
Nefarious by nature,
Envious to an extreme,
Egotistical, cruel hearted and mean,
Possessed with greed,
Lecherous indeed,
A master of confusion,
A facilitator of delusion,
Revenge driven...
To the point of becoming maniacal,
Every act diabolical,
Truly a minister of the sinister,
A desperate hopeless schemer once a high achiever,
A fallen angle,now a devil in the face of a human.
So is the hell's tyrant...
This Snowy Egret displayed his beautiful plumes at Corkscrew Swamp in South Florida. But every time he displayed, he was assaulting any bird that came near him. He fearlessly chased any and all birds regardless of size, including other Snowy Egrets, Great Egrets, Roseate Spoonbills, and a large Great Blue Heron.
The birds were in "tight quarters", the result of an extremely dry season in Florida which essentially dried up the swamp, concentrating the birds into two small "lakes" (really shallow swamp ponds). That was great for photographers, bad for birds that were hungry and preparing for their mating season.

As handsome as he is, this male Anna's Hummingbird was just a tyrant. I never saw him actually partake of the feeder. He just angrily chased off any others that would dare to approach HIS feeder. The life of a hummingbird

The Crested Black-tyrant is an inhabitant of cerrado and pastureland in Southern Brazil from Mato Grosso east to Bahia and south to Rio Grande do Sul and in Paraguay and Uruguay. As the name implies, the Crested Black-tyrant is large, glossy-black and conspicuously crested. Unlike most other members of the genus Knipolegus, both males and females are similarly black in color. The Crested Black-tyrant feeds mainly on insects which it catches making quick aerial sallies, but at times this flycatcher will feed on fruit. The Crested Black-tyrant is usually encountered in pairs. Source: Birds of the World.

This little flycatcher stopped just long enough for us to capture a few pictures. The pristine black and white reminds us of a bird in a tuxedo. The Black Phoebe is a dapper flycatcher of the western U.S. with a sooty black body and crisp white belly. They sit in the open on low perches to scan for insects, often keeping up a running series of shrill chirps.

This Snowy Egret put on quite a show for us at J.N.Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge.
He displayed fiercely, as shown in the picture, every time another of the twenty egrets came near him, and chased the interloper off of "his spot" on the black rocks. When no other bird came near, he would chase and challenge the nearest bird, even the larger Great Egrets. Mating/nesting season must have been getting close, and he was claiming territory.

Currently the Strange-tailed Tyrant largely is restricted to southern Paraguay, northeastern Argentina, and western Uruguay, where it occupies tall grasslands, but the distribution formerly extended much farther north and east. In view of this range contraction, primarily due to habitat loss, the Red List conservation status of the Strange-tailed Tyrant is rated as Vulnerable.

The white-headed marsh tyrant (Arundinicola leucocephala) is a small passerine bird in the tyrant flycatcher family, the only species of the genus Arundinicola. It breeds in tropical South America from Colombia, Venezuela and Trinidad south to Bolivia, Argentina and Paraguay.
The adult white-headed marsh tyrant is 12.7 cm long and weighs 15 g. This is a quiet species, but the call is a sharp ‘sedik’.
This species is found in marshy savannahs, reedbeds and the edges of mangrove swamps. White-headed marsh tyrants wait on an exposed low perch in marsh vegetation or a branch near water, occasionally sallying out to feed on insects, their staple diet, before returning to the perch. They often pick off insects from the vegetation, but more frequently out of mid-air and even from shallow water.
The nest is a feather-lined oval ball of grasses and other plant material, with a porched side entrance. It is placed at the end of a branch near or over water. Both sexes incubate the typical clutch of two or three creamy-white eggs, which are marked with a few brown spots. Cowbirds often parasitise the nest.
This bird is not considered threatened by the IUCN. Local populations may disappear, however, due to declining habitat quality. - Wikipedia

This small, 5-inch tyrant flycatcher thrives in marshy wetlands and along riverbanks across much of South America. It feeds on insects and other tiny prey, darting out quickly to snatch meals in mid-air.

This small flycatcher is almost always found around rushing streams high in the Andes where it is often difficult to locate and see well. It was formerly recognized as one species, the Slaty-backed Chat-Tyrant which occured from Venezuela to Bolivia. Southern populations from Peru and Boliva are now recognized as a separate species, the Maroon-belted Chat-Tyrant. Hacienda El Bosque, Colombia
