This is another of the more visible birds in the area. It is a Great kiskadee that occurs in all countries in South America except Chile (plus a few countries in Central America). It grows up to 28 cm (11.0 in) long, making it one of the largest species in the tyrant family (which in turn is the largest bird family on earth with over 400 species and that occurs in all countries in North and South America). The bird is omnivorous and will eat anything from pieces of bread to spiders and nestlings. This makes it adaptable and is often seen on the outskirts of towns and villages. With its sulphur-yellow plumage (which is reflected in the Latin name given to it by the Uppsala researcher Carl Linnaeus) it is also easy to spot.
