Scissor-tailed Flycatcher in Flight.

Amazing bird. This was shot in Polk County, Florida. We see a few of these birds in the winter during migration. A novelty for me to see them in Florida. Beautiful bird. This is not the best shot around, but to get one in flight makes my nday.

I'd be very proud of it if it were mine. Great image Walter.

A great capture, I have not heard of this bird before.
Our fly catcher is much smaller and does not have
a tail like this one in you photograph.
Thank you for posting.

Beautiful positioning of the bird. I have never seen one of these and it certainly is a beauty!

Nice picture. What camera and lens were you using? We are coming to FL for a few weeks at the end of the month.

Great shot. I love the symmetry in the wing feathers and there's enough color in the bird to keep things interesting.
