Thick-billed Kingbird (Tyrannus crassirostris)
About the Thick-billed Kingbird
The thick-billed kingbird (Tyrannus crassirostris) is a large member of the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Guatemala. The thick-billed kingbird has two subspecies, the nominate T. c. crassirostris (Swainson, 1826) and T. c. pompalis (Bangs & Peters, JL, 1928). The differences between them are slight and some authors suggest that the two should be merged.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 160 recordings for this species: 92 CC BY-NC-SA · 11 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
