. Bird guide : land birds east of the Rockies from parrots to bluebirds. Birds -- United States. ARKANSAS KINGBIBD. 447. Tyrannus verticalis. 9 inches. These tyrant flycatchers are abundant west of the Mis- sissippi, where they are often, and perhaps more aptly, known as the Western Kingbirds. If possible, they are even more noisy and pugnacious than the eastern species. They have a great variety of notes, all rather unpleasant to the ear. Their food, like that of the other Kingbirds, consists of moths, butterflies, ants, grasshoppers, crick- etc, etc., most of which they catch on the wing. No
