The Long-tailed Tyrant is a distinctive and often conspicuous flycatcher, instantly recognizable by its extremely long, graduated tail. It is a striking bird of open tropical habitats.
Where to spot
Widespread in clearings, forest edges, savannas, pastures, and open woodlands, from southern Mexico through Central America to most of South America.
How to spot
Look for its incredibly long tail and upright posture on exposed perches like dead trees or wires. Observe its active sallying for insects and listen for its chattering calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often more conspicuous during the breeding season when tail displays are prominent. Observable year-round in its resident range.
