The Gray Kingbird is a common and vocal kingbird of the Caribbean and southeastern United States, known for its strong voice and assertive behavior. It prefers coastal and open habitats.
Where to spot
Breeds in the southeastern United States (Florida and Gulf Coast), Bermuda, and throughout the Caribbean islands. Winters from the Caribbean to northern South America. Found in coastal scrub, mangroves, open woodlands, gardens, and urban areas.
How to spot
Look for its overall grey plumage, darker on the head and back, with a whitish throat and paler belly (often with a yellowish wash). It has a prominent large bill and a hidden orange crown patch. Its loud, often raspy, 'pee-cheer-ee!' or 'pee-we-a' calls are very distinctive.
When to spot
Observed during breeding season (spring and summer) in its northern range, and during the non-breeding season (fall and winter) in the Caribbean and South America. Seen during migration.
