Flycaychers normally sit motionless on limbs, then issuing forth to snap up insects on the wing. There are several species, 365 to be exact in the world. Most are the size of slender robins, except for the Empidonax complex, which consists of five very similar species of small flycatchers, the willow, acadian, alder, yellow bellied, and least.

The larger members of the Tyrant flycatcher group includes the kingbird, great crested flycatcher, scissor tailed and fork tailed flycatchers.
