Description
Scissor-tailed Flycatchers perch conspicuously on utility lines, treetops, fence lines and in this case, out on a limb, to watch for insect prey and defend their territories. They are agile in the air, spreading their long tails wide to make abrupt turns and stalls. They are highly territorial, and will chase other birds out of their territories accompanied by loud, squeaky, bubbling calls.
It is the state bird of Oklahoma but can be seen throughout south-central United States and they migrate to Mexico and Central America. I captured this image in south Texas at the Estero Llano Grande State Park.
