Pitirre/ Gray Kingbird

Tyrannus dominicencis

Description:

Singing PEE-TEEH-RRR! likes to reach the highest spot on a tree, it has a peak that is not to long, but not to short, not to wide or broad but not thin, & is very effective at defending himself & his nests from bigger birds. The ventral area of his body is mostly white, the dorsal part of the body and wings are brown-gray. El pitirre tiene un pico bastante ancho y bastante largo que usa para defenderse a sí mismo y a sus nidos, el área ventral de su cuerpo es casi todo blanco, mientras que el área dorsal y las alas muestran una tonalidad parda oscura y gris. Se le da su nombre por el sonido de su trino; algo así como: Piiii-tyy-rrrr. Tiende a buscar el lugar más alto de los árboles.
