    The gray kingbird, also known as pitirre or tyrannus dominicensis, is a large tropical species of flycatcher found in coastal regions of southern United States and northern South America. It is known for its distinctive gray body color with a black mask over its eyes, accented by white underparts. It has an aggressive nature, often seen defending its territory against much larger birds like hawks and crows. The gray kingbird has a loud, piercing, repetitive call which is often heard before the bird is visible.

  1. Gray Kingbird

    The Gray Kingbird, also known as Pitirre is a passerine bird. It breeds from the extreme southeast of the USA, mainly in Florida, through Central America, from Cuba to Puerto Rico as well as eastward towards all across the Lesser West Indies, south to Venezuela, Trinidad, Tobago the Guiana and Colombia. Northern populations are migratory, wintering on the Caribbean coast of Central America and northern South America. This tyrant flycatcher is found in tall trees and shrubs, including the edges of savanna and marshes. It makes a flimsy cup nest in a tree. The female incubates the typical clutch of two cream eggs, which are marked with reddish-brown. The adult Gray Kingbird is an average-sized kingbird. It measures 23 cm in length and weighs from 37 to 52 g. The upperparts are grey, with brownish wings and tail, and the underparts are white with a grey tinge to the chest. The head has a concealed yellow crown stripe, and a dusky mask through the eyes. The dark bill is heavier than that of the related, slightly smaller, Tropical Kingbird. The sexes are similar, but young birds have rufous edges on the wing coverts, rump and tail. The call is a loud rolling trill, pipiri pipiri, which is the reason behind many of its local names, like pestigre or pitirre, in the Spanish-speaking Greater Antilles, or "petchary" in some of the English-speaking zones.
