I am linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes
For this week's wild bird, I am sharing the Tropical Kingbird seen in Belize.
The Tropical Kingbird was not a Belize lifer, I have seen them in different places during my travels.
Here is another one of my post sharing the Tropical Kingbird seen in Panama.
This bird is a large tyrant flycatcher. It breeds from southern Arizona to South America
This is not the best shot taken from a great distance and on a cloudy day. But it shows the bird well and their colors. Their head are a pale grey with a darker eye mask. They have a heavy bill and the they have yellow underparts. They eat insects and some fruits.
I hope you enjoyed my Belize bird.. Thanks for stopping by my post and for all the nice comments.

It's a very pretty yellow bird Eileen, and good shots of both birds.

Gotta get down there one of these days. What a birders paradise.
Nice looking bird - I assume they are related to flycatchers - they have a similar look.

Lovely bird in nice colors. I greet you.
Hi Eileen,
Beautiful bird is the Tropical Kingbird.

Mesmerizing shots. Especially the first one with the amazingly deep blue sky.

a very handsome bird!
so pretty against the cobalt sky!!!
Lovely colouring, I can see that they would hide easily among greeny yellow foliage. A beauty. Cheers, Jean.
Super photos Eileen, what a pretty bird! Have a great day :)
A wonderful bird, must be a great place for birding.
A lovely bird with the soft greys and the bright yellows. Have a great week, Eileen!
Both of these photos are excellent.
Hi, your Kingbird is LOVELY and elegant and I visited your post of Panama♡♡♡
Always admire your knowledge and explanation as well, Eileen♪♪♪
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
A very pretty bird! Looks similar to some of our flycatchers.
Pretty yellow.
It takes me back to Costa Rica - thanks, Eileen - as we saw them most days there. They are attractive.
What a sweet looking little bird.
A beautiful bird. Belize seems to be a birder's paradise.
It's a great looking bird, love the colours, wonderful shots.
He sure is a beauty. I love the iris in your header.
Oh yes, I love all of your birds --including the ones from Belize... That Tropical Kingbird is a beauty. What is your total number of different birds you have seen now?
Hugs,
Betsy
Great shots of the Tropical Kingbird, Eileen! The second one reminds me of a great crested flycatcher.
Beautiful shots! Another great bird conquest! :-)
Wow--you are planning a trip to CO. I hope my posts are helping you decide about some things to see & do!
Yes it does! This bird breeds in several areas around Tucson. And they are loud! 4 similar kingbirds we have to understand.....
1. Tropical Kingbird-notch in tail
2. Western Kingbird(common)-white outside tail feathers
3. Cassin's Kingbird-grayer on head with white throat
4. Thick-billed Kingbird(rarest)-whiter than the other with a bigger bill and a bigger bird
Kingbirds are fascinating birds! Congrats!
Hi Eileen,
both birds are wonderful and cute. So beautiful !
Best regards, Synnöve
Beautiful photos, Eileen. The tropical king bird is definitely a beauty; love its red and grey hues, and your pictures show these colours wonderfully!
Have a lovely Wednesday!

Fabulous bird captures and what an intense blue sky in the Belize shot!
Great to discover or re-discover these birds here, Eileen!
I am always very happy to admire birds from other places in the world, and you make me travel somewhat with your pictures!! :)
Keep well!
Beautiful Eileen! I love your blog!!!
Ah. the first that I've seen of a yellow kingbird!
Hello Mr. Tropical Kingbird!! Nice to meet you :-)
A tyrant flycatcher? Handsome bird. Thank you for linking into Nature Notes Eileen..... Michelle
Beautiful bird, Eileen! Love your header xx
It's so pretty, I love birds with yellow feathers for some reason.
Nice colored bird !
A beauty of the Tropical Kingbird, I love it, cheers Eileen.
You must have had a fabulous time!
(ツ) from Cottage Country Ontario , ON, Canada!
The last photo looks like a pastel painting from an Audubon book . What a sweet bird.
The kingbird is very lovely Eileen. It appears to be quite large and with ahefty bill - all the better for taking those nuisance insects? Have a great weekend.
How pretty he is! : )
Looks like this bird has character! Thanks for sharing
What a gorgeous bird and beautiful images!!
I have often called but abroad are really much nicer and nicer colored birds than in the Netherlands. Very cool that this could photograph Eileen:-)
That's a really cool looking bird.
it is always great to see them. :)
I`ve heard the flycatchers,but was unable to capture a photo this year,great shots! Phyllis
Fine and fun
I noticed the heavy bill as if it was a fisher bird...
Eileen, it was always a treat and a challenge to find this species in Arizona, but I did find them a few times. The notched tail is another clue!
