The Eastern Kingbird, (Tyrannus tyrannus), is a large tyrant flycatcher native to North America.
Adults are grey-black on the upperparts with light underparts; they have a long black tail with a white end and long pointed wings. They have a red patch on their crown, seldom seen. They are of average size for a kingbird, at 19–23 cm (7.5–9 in), 33–38 cm (13–15 in) across the wings and weighing 33-55 g (1.2-1.9 oz).^[1]
The call is a high-pitched, buzzing and unmusical chirp, frequently compared to an electric fence.^[2]
