Tyrant Flycatchers

The tyrant flycatchers are a clade of American birds based in North America and South America.They are the largest family of birds on Earth,with more than 400 species and are the most diverse avian family in the Americas.They are distinctive because they do a process known as "sallying".In other words,they fly in one place and then return to their perch..They also wag their tails.They superficially resemble Old World Flycatchers,but are more robust with stronger bills.They also don't have the sophisticated vocal capabilities of the other songbirds.They are insectivorous.Most have a large head,bristly "whiskers" and a broad-based flat bill.They are divided by Empidonax Flycatchers,Phoebes,Myiarchus Flycatchers,Kingbirds, and Pewees,
