	Tyrant flycatcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tyrant flycatchers are a large family of passerine birds which occur throughout North and South America, but are mainly tropical in distribution.
		They superficially resemble the Old World flycatchers, but are more robust with stronger bills.
		They are members of suborder Tyranni (suboscines) and so do not have the sophisticated vocal capabilities of the songbirds.

	flycatcher
		Flycatchers vary in color from drab to brilliant, as in the crested monarch and paradise flycatchers of Asia and Africa.
		The tails are rounded or shallowly forked, except for that of the scissor-tailed flycatcher of the SW United States, a gray bird with fl wings and tail and reddish patches at the wing base, whose long (7–10 in./17.5–25 cm), deeply forked tail enables it to perform aerial acrobatics.
		The nesting habits of flycatchers vary; the typical nest is an open cup in a tree, but some nest on buildings and in concealed places, and the great crested flycatcher of E North America is a cavity-nester that habitually lines its nest with cast snake skins.

	Pennsylvania Game Commission - State Wildlife Management Agency: Flycatchers
		Flycatchers are often hard to identify, even for veteran birdwatchers, because the birds are drab (the sexes are colored alike) and tend to stay among thick foliage.
		Flycatchers are perching birds, members of Order Passeriformes, whose feet have three toes pointing forward and one toe pointing backward, letting them perch easily on branches.
		Flycatchers advertise their home territories using their voices; some employ a special "dawn song" given just before sunrise and rarely sung later in the day.

		Goddard (1972) found this flycatcher to be among the 12 most numerous breeding birds along the Kinnickinnic River Valley in Pierce County.
		The yellow-bellied flycatcher is probably more widespread as a nesting species than available records indicate because of the vast amount of suitable nesting habitat in the Northern Highland.
		One factor that characterizes olive-sided flycatcher habitat is the presence of dead snags that are used for feeding and singing perches.

	The Tyrant Flycatcher.--King-bird
		The Tyrant Flycatcher, or, as it is commonly named, the Field Martin, or King-bird, is one of the most interesting visiters of the United States, where it is to be found during spring and summer, and where, were its good qualities appreciated as they deserve to be, it would remain unmolested.
		This mortal hatred is occasioned by a propensity which the Tyrant Flycatcher now and then shews to eat a honey-bee, which the farmer looks upon as exclusively his own property.
		This bold Flycatcher is not satisfied with ranging throughout the United States, but extends its migrations across the continent to the Columbia river, and, according to Dr. RICHARDSON, northward as far as the 57th parallel, where it breeds, arriving in May, and departing in the beginning of September.

		This species, like the Tyrant Flycatcher, migrates by day, and during its journeys is seen passing at a great height.
		The squeak or sharp note of the Great Crested Flycatcher is easily distinguished from that of any of the genus, as it transcends all others in shrillness, and is heard mostly in those dark woods where, recluse-like, it seems to delight.
		During the love-season, and as long as the male is paying his addresses to the female, or proving to her that he is happy in her society, it is heard for hours both at early dawn and sometimes after sunset; but as soon as the young are out, the whole family are mute.

		On our approach to this spot we found two small flycatchers that are more or less restricted to intact natural grasslands of the Brazilian interior: Cock-tailed Tyrant and Sharp-tailed Grass-Tyrant.
		We knew we were far from exhausting the birds at this spot, but we had a significant drive ahead, so we had to tear ourselves away at 11:00.

		Called "Brown Flycatcher" in Wetmore (1972) and "Brownish Twistwing" in Ridgely and Tudor (1994), Ridgely and Greenfield (2001), and Fitzpatrick (2004).
		Called "Cinnamon Tyrant-Manakin" in Sibley and Monroe (1990), "Cinnamon Tyrant" in Mobley and Prum (1995) and Fitzpatrick (2004), and "Cinnamon Neopipo" in Ridgely and Greenfield (2001) and Hilty (2003), thus perhaps setting a new temporal record for lack of stability in an English name.
		Sibley and Monroe (1990) considered them conspecific and coined the name "Andean Tyrant" for the composite species, and this was followed by Ridgely and Tudor (1994) and Fitzpatrick (2004); Fjeldså and Krabbe (1990) also considered them conspecific but used "Plumbeous Tyrant," but see Ridgely and Tudor (1994) for reasons not to use that English name.
