Description
Great Kiskadees are a treat for bird watchers, and the birds won’t keep you waiting. They’re boisterous in both attitude and color: a black bandit’s mask, a yellow belly, and flashes of warm reddish-brown when they fly. Kiskadees sit out in the open and attract attention with incessant kis-ka-dee calls and sallying flights. Despite their small U.S. range, this is one of the most widespread flycatchers in the Western Hemisphere.
The Great Kiskadee has a black mask that works like the eye-black that athletes smear beneath their eyes, an adaptation to reduce glare and assist them in hunting in bright light or where light reflects off water.
This digitally altered artwork is derived from a photograph taken Feb 14/21 near Fenicia, Valle de Cauca, Colombia, South America nestled in coastal cordillera of the Andes Mountains.
Final processing done with Smart Photo Editor and Photoshop.
