Great Kiskadee
Pitangus sulphuratus
The Great Kiskadee (Pitangus sulphuratus) is a big, stocky flycatcher of Latin America. The species enters the United States only in deep south Texas where it is a locally common resident.
Diet The great kiskadee eats insects like beetles, wasps, grasshoppers, bees and moths. Despite the fact that it is a flycatcher, it also eats berries, seeds, mice, frogs, fish and lizards. It also will dive straight into the water to catch fish.
