THE FLYCATCHERS. 



The Tyrant Flycatchers are small or medium sized, usually plain 

 colored birds with rather long wings and small feet. They have the 

 habit of perching on some convenient limb, often at the top of a dead 

 tree, from which they sail out after passing insects, returning again 

 to the same perch. Their bills are very broad and flat, well armed 

 with bristles at the base. 



Their vocal apparatus is much less highly organized than in any of 

 the following families, which are separated collectively as the Song 

 Birds.
