Strikingly Beautiful Birds - Scissor tailed Flycatcher


Today, I would like to call your attention to a very beautiful bird that can make your day if you are lucky enough to see it. One neighborhood I lived in down in Houston I used to see this bird on the wire from time to time - what a treat! It is said that this bird forms late summer, pre-migratory roosts of up to a 1,000 birds in the flock. Now, that would be a spectacular sight indeed!

If you are in one of the seven states that this bird is found in, definitely keep your eyes open, check the wires - it can be seen from your car.
