The Tropical Kingbird is a gray-headed bird with bright yellow underparts and a pale gray-green back. It has a whitish throat and dark gray-brown wings and tail.
Tropical Kingbirds forage by catching large flying insects on the wing, sallying out from a favored perch (often a telephone line) and returning to it to consume the prey. Also feeds on fruits, particularly during cooler weather. Perches conspicuously and when nesting flies out to confront many sorts of birds that come too close to the nest.
They are found in almost any open or semi open habitat. They favour parks, towns, and rural areas with scattered trees for nesting and other perches for hunting, often near water.
