Kingbird - Tyrannus
tyrannus
The
Eastern Kingbird is probably one of the easiest flycatchers to see at
Wind Cave National Park. During the summer months, the kingbird’s
dzeet call can be heard in brushy areas near the prairie. Eastern Kingbirds
can be seen and heard at the visitor center near forest edges. Eastern
Kingbirds are known as being particularly aggressive to nest predators—they
can attack and chase away many other birds like jays, hawks, owls, crows
and even vultures and eagles. Eastern Kingbirds can be observed at Wind
Cave National Park starting in early May. |
