Near Boca Tapada, Costa Rica. These birds always perch way, WAY high up from the ground, so I felt lucky to get any kind of photo at all!
Distinctive flycatcher: long central tail feathers usually obvious, longer in males than females. Even without tail, plumage is unique: black body with white back and eyebrow. Fairly small flycatcher, usually perched conspicuously in clearings, open habitats, or forest edges. Listen for rising whistled call.
Tico Rainforest B&B, Horquetas de Sarapiqui, Costa Rica
This tiny, beautiful bird occurs in montane forest all along the Andes, but occurs more generally in Patagonia right down to the coast. But they did not seem particularly common, and they were always on the move when I saw them so never easy to connect with. I photographed this individual in a Southern Beech (Nothofagus) woodland in Torres del Paine National Park in southern Chile.
Suiriri-pequeno (Satrapa icterophrys). (Vieillot, 1818).

Attractive flycatcher found in marshes and waterbodies. Range across northern South America. A lifer found on a "field birding" (vs. "feeder birding") trip to Colombia in the Casanare region. Hato La Aurora.
This Eastern Wood Pewee, in the Tyrant Flycatcher family, has staked out a section of our yard adjacent to our woods and is vigorously defending it. He darts off his perch to chase everything from chipping sparrows to starlings. At one point he even went after a Common Grackle, which seemed quite ambitious.
Been itching to build him since 2006. I always admired “Tyrant” as a kid, obsessively reading through the BIONICLE guides and fleshing out the little world that I knew. I liked his build and I liked his rocket launcher. “Lurker” was always my favorite but “Tyrant” just always seemed the most easily-buildable and realistically compliant with the Metru era titan sets. I am proud to finally build him.
Hymenops perspicillata
Tyrants often fail to attract much attention from many birders, once they have seen the 'life bird', but this striking species is always welcome !
Usually found in the vicinity of marshes and wetlands, it often sits up prominently...
Southern Pantanal, Brazil
No, it's not a big bird - it's a very small wild pig. The bird is probably inexperienced and is practicing on a species nearer its own size before moving up to its namesake!
The Cattle Tyrant [Machetornis rixosa] is another Neotropical Suboscine species (suborder : Tyranni), and classified as a Tyrant Flycatcher (family : Tyrannidae).
Who would win? I suppose it's odd that they're this close buuuut it's probably in a very close quarters urban environment.

A Beholder variant from 4th Edition, the Ultimate Tyrant is bigger than a pickup truck, and its eye rays are all meaner and nastier.

Phoebes are proud members (at least they seem so) of the Family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers.
The Eastern Phoebe gets its name from its distinctive but rough two note call, fee-ah-bee or whee-bee. (not to be confused to the clearly whistled two note call of the Chickadee). The discovery of the Eastern Phoebe is credited to Thomas Say (1787-1834), who collected this species along the Arkansas River near Canon City, Colorado during the 1819-1820 expedition to establish military posts along the upper Missouri River.
The Eastern Phoebe holds the distinction of being the subject of the first bird banding experiment in North America. In the early 1800s, J. J. Audubon tied thin silver wires on the legs of a brood of Eastern Phoebes. The following year, he was delighted to discover that they returned to breed in the same area. Phoebes are notorious for returning to build their nest, often right on top of the previous years nest. At one location in New England, successive generations of Phoebes were known to return to breed under the same bridge for over 30 years.
Eastern Phoebes winter in the southern states from Texas to Florida. I found this one perched on a Barbed Wire Fence at Dinner Island Ranch WMA
in Hendry County, Florida.
