I don't think I have ever seen that type of bird. Great shot of the tail. Very cool.

I think it's the same as the Sizzor-tailed Flycatcher I see sometimes in the Texas Hill Country, but I'd never get a picture that wonderful. Does one do it by using a telephoto with a fairly high f# for focus in a fraction of a second, and relatively short shutter speed, with plenty of light. I'm essentially a beginner, so please pardon such a basic question. -Ed

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.

That's a keeper for sure! I've never seen that bird, so I appreciate your sharing your photo.
