• A small American bird (Tyrannus tyrannus, or T.
    Carolinensis), noted for its courage in attacking larger birds, even
    hawks and eagles, especially when they approach its nest in the
    breeding season. It is a typical tyrant flycatcher, taking various
    insects upon the wing. It is dark ash above, and blackish on the head
    and tail. The quills and wing coverts are whitish at the edges. It is
    white beneath, with a white terminal band on the tail. The feathers on
    the head of the adults show a bright orange basal spot when erected.
    Called also bee bird, and bee martin. Several Southern and Western
    species of Tyrannus are also called king birds.
