Great Kiskadee
Pitangus sulphuratus
Within the borders of the USA, the Great Kiskadee is found only in south Texas, but ranges widely throughout the lands south, extending to the southern tip of South America. These bold and vocal birds are easily found where ever they roam. Their loud kiss-ka-dee calls resound whenever they are nearby.

Description: As I was leaving Harlingen Texas and heading to Brownsville, I looked at the birding opportunities that might be in town. I read that Red-Crowned Parrots were known to frequent a neighborhood in town so I drove there and stood vigil for awhile. No parrots showed, but these Kiskadees performed for me. |
