Scissor-tailed Flycatcher

Description:

Photo take at my backyard, i spot this beauty days ago and yesterday morning it was catching insects right in front of the house what a wonderful bird.Flycatchers are slender, stout-billed kingbirds with very long, stiff, deeply forked tails. Males have longer tail feathers than females and immatures. These are pale gray birds with blackish wings and black tails with white edges. Adults have salmon-pink flanks that extend to underwing patches that are very conspicuous in flight. Males are more intensely colored than females.

Habitat:

On a open area in the jungle forest. Scissor-tailed Flycatchers breed in open habitats in the southern Great Plains and south Texas, especially around scattered trees or utility lines. They tolerate human presence well and frequently breed in towns.
