The Giant Kingbird is the largest kingbird in the Americas, endemic to Cuba and surrounding islands. It is a striking and powerful predator of open woodlands and coastlines.
Where to spot
Endemic to Cuba, Isla de la Juventud, and a few small nearby islands. Primarily found in open forests, savannas with scattered trees, coastal scrub, and mangrove edges.
How to spot
Look for its impressive size, overall dark grey plumage, white chin, and pale belly. It has a very heavy bill and a hidden yellow crown patch. Its calls are loud and harsh, often described as a series of scratchy notes.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its restricted island range. Best observed during early morning and late afternoon when actively foraging.
