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.

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.

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.
My friend, we are not going through a good time, here the relative humidity of the air is very low and there are many fires in the forests (Environmental Protection Area). Criminal fires, very sad...
Little creatures like this are dying,
fewer and fewer birds in the wild...

Unsure how this first ever recored bird in the U.S. got here from South America but I feel so lucky to have gotten to see him. First spotted in Nov of 23 in downtown Corpus Christ. He was still there when we visited in March. As far as I can tell he has not been seen in about 3 months.

The Streamer-tailed Tyrant is a distinctive resident of Buriti palm groves and seasonally wet grassland from western Bolivia to central Brazil and to northeastern Argentina. Overall these birds appear pale gray with black wings that are highlighted by a patch of cinnamon at the base of the primaries. Aptly named, the Streamer-tailed Tyrant has a long deeply forked tail. Streamer-tailed Tyrants often perch conspicuously on the tops of low trees and bushes and utter a harsh repeated "wurreep" call. They forage by flying low over marshy areas before pouncing to the ground to catch large arthropods.
During courtship, the members of a pair of Streamer-tailed Tyrants perch 10-50 cm apart facing one another, while each bird alternately lowers their head and raises and fans their long tail. The birds then proceed to lower their tail and raise their heads while raising their wings and calling continuously. Source: Birds of the World.
Happy Thursday!

The red background is scummy pond water, but I like how it offsets the black and white of the bird.
An Eastern Kingbird (Tyrannus tyrannus) rests on a strand of barbed wire, taking a break from picking off flying insects that happened to catch its eye.
During the summer Eastern Kingbirds are usually solitary, aggressively defending breeding territory (thus the tyrant moniker), inhabiting pastures and meadows of North America. In the winter they migrate to South America where they live tropical forests, occurring in flocks, and mostly eating fruit.
The tail of the Strange-tailed Tyrant is strange indeed, at least in the male. The outer pair of rectrices are greatly elongated (they are longer than the bird's body); the bases of the outer pair of rectrices are bare, but the outer two-thirds of the feather are very broad, forming a long streamer. The plumage is black and white, but the breeding male has exposed pinkish or orangey skin on the throat. The behavior of the Strange-tailed Tyrant is no less unusual. This species is polygynous, as males maintain territories where up to four females breed. 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.
Have a Peaceful Day!
