Description

The Scissor-Tailed Flycatcher, who has been sitting on his perch constantly scanning the open patch in front of him, sees an insect and is OFF, swooping downward and spreading his white tail feathers, as they do when they fly. Please see next image for the result. Sharper in zoom.Thanks for looking and for your comments.

Cool image of the talented Flycatcher in action, Maria. Along with the main subject matter, I really like the bokeh background in this. Now, if the Flycatcher only had machine guns in its wings, it would make the hunting process so much easier.
