Why it matters
The long-tailed tyrant (*Colonia colonus*) is easily identified by its exceptionally long, deeply forked tail, which can measure nearly twice the length of its body. This slender flycatcher is prized by birders for its distinctive, narrow wing shape and its habit of perching prominently in open areas of Neotropical forests to hunt insects.
