| 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. The species often hangs around water where it hunts for frogs, tadpoles, and fish. The six top photos shown here were taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II & EF 500mm F/4L IS lens and 1.4X extender near Edinburg, Hidalgo Co., Texas in February, 2006. |  |
