Description

Scissor-tailed Flycatchers (the state bird of Oklahoma). Some days it pays to be at work... I was assigned to stand by at the "River Fest" Sunday so, of course it took my camera! Well the happenings on the river didn't interest me all that much but these two were having alot of fun! I hope y'all enjoyed your weekend and are having a great start to a new week! Thank you for viewing!!!

This is so cool, to capture birds in flight is so very hard to do. You have done it perfectly! Well Done!!!!

really nice shot. i guess it is a territorial display of some kind, and they certainly look like they are showing off.

Wow..what a shot..like leaping from the high dive! My coworker told me of seeing these "scissor tail" birds on his trip out west last year. Amazing birds and excellent shot.
