Kingbirds are among the most specialized predators in this family, since they prey almost exclusively on flying insects. We document a Tropical Kingbird (Tyrannus melancholicus) capturing and eating a small fish (Poeciliopsis gracilis) in one of the bodies of water of the main campus of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, in Puebla, Mexico. Although it is known that the Grey Kingbird (T. dominicensis) and the Eastern Kingbird (T. tyrannus) can prey opportunistically on fish, this is the first time fish-eating has been reported for the Tropical Kingbird. 2018 artículo científico 1870-7459 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=75660968010 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/756/75660968010/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/756/75660968010/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/756/75660968010/75660968010.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/756/75660968010/movil 10.28947/hrmo.2018.19.2.350 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=756 Huitzil.
