I'm still waiting for a wayward migrant to make an appearance. Of course, they keep me coming back to Arkansas each year! -Mike Hi Amber – no Scissor-tails, usually, here in the southern tier of NY.

Thanks for the note - will come over to your blog for a visit soon.

One of my targets was to photograph Scissor-tails, the bird I miss the most. Your photos on this post are the ones I was hoping to capture, ones that highlighted their habitat and spirit. I only managed some blah images of birds on wires or fences, nothing like the beautiful shots you created. I'll certainly be following your future posts! -Mike I just discovered your site and really enjoyed your trip to the Arkansas Ozarks, especially because my family is just back from a lightening-trip back to Fayetteville – it took a while, but I realize how much I miss the place.

I love flycatchers and am lucky enough to have Ash-throated Flycatchers breeding on my property. We also have Western Kingbirds, Black and Say's Phoebes and several Empids that breed nearby in the summer. All the flycatchers are graceful and I can imagine the scissor-tails are even more so. You can see it in the great in flight shots you captured. The one with the male flying over the female and looking back at her is exceptional! I am looking forward to your hosting the next IATB! I will send you the best post I can muster :-) Wow Amber, what beautiful captures of a simply gorgeous bird.
