Scissortail Flycatcher

KC Countryside, KC, Mo

I THINK HE IS LOOKING BACK TO SEE IF HIS TAIL GREW ANYMORE
TODAY.. THIS ONE HAD AN UNUSUALLY LONG TAIL.. MANY OTHERS
ARE SHORTER; MAYBE THEY ARE YOUNGER?


LOOKING PROUD AND VERY STATELY..

1/500s f/4.0 at 240.0mm iso560 full exif

Wow! I am sooooo impressed that you got these wonderful captures in the Kansas City area. I've never seen one of these in real life. I especially love the bottom image!
