Kiskadees are quite large – the size of robin and strongly built. They belong to a varied group called tyrant flycatchers. As the name suggests, these birds pray mostly on insects, but Kiskaddes are known to have the ability to catch even fish by a head first
kingfisher -style plunge into the water.
The most striking feature of this bird is its facial pattern of black eye stripe and crown combined with a white line above the eye and white throat. The chest area and under parts are bright yellow while the back and tail are brown. Both sexes look the very same.
