Western Kingbirds are one of larger birds in the Flycatcher Family. The bright yellow abdomen is usually the first clue of a Kingbird, but it is important to look a little closer for the black tail with the narrow white outer edge in separating this bird from similar looking flycatchers. | ![](http://www.cascaderamblings.com/uploads/1300440844.08799_photo_06.13012w4.jpg)
