. Bird guide : land birds east of the Rockies from parrots to bluebirds. Birds -- United States. GRAY KINGBIRD. 445. Tyrannus dominicensis. 9 inches. Differs from the common Kingbird in being larger and gray above; has black ear coverts, and no white tip to tail. Like the last species, these are very noisy and pug- nacious, and rule their domains with the hand of a tyrant. After they have mated they quarrel very little among themselves, and often several may use the same lookout twig from which to dash after passing flies or moths. Note.—A rapidly repeated, shrill shriek: "pe-che-ri,"
