Abstract

Kleptoparasitism has been extensively described for raptors and seabirds, but there are fewer observations for passerine birds. Here we describe several events of interspecific kleptoparasitism in the Great Kiskadee (Tyrannidae: Pitangus sulphuratus) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Although interspecific kleptoparasitism has not been described previously for this species, we believe this foraging strategy is more common than expected for a passerine bird. The observations described in this paper are consistent with four of the six ecological conditions proposed by Brockmann and Barnard (1979).
