There are few parts of birding that I enjoy more than watching and photographing Scissor-tailed Flycatchers. So the other day I took a brief lunchtime drive over to Longenbaugh Road, where there are usually plenty of these spectacular birds perched on utility wires. I wasn't disappointed!

.Scissor-tailed Flycatchers just have to be among the most elegant and spectacular of all the bird species that we see here in southeast Texas. I never tire of watching or taking photos of them.
However, they aren't quite as elegant if you catch them early in the morning, before they have finished getting ready for the day.
And, of course, they are much less spectacular when they're young and haven't yet grown those incredible tails.
