Western Kingbird

Tyrannus verticalis

Least Concern

The Western Kingbird is a bold tyrant flycatcher of North America, Mexico, and migration corridors into Central America. It often hunts from exposed perches, sallying after flying insects and sometimes taking fruit or small vertebrates. It is currently assessed as Least Concern, though intact habitat, connected woodland, and healthy insect populations remain important locally.
