I've noticed many scissor-tailed flycatchers along my morning commute to the office this week. But when your camera is at home, it doesn't do much good when you want to take a picture.

Today, I grabbed my camera...just in case. And the perfect scenario appeared to photograph this great bird! I parked at my office, and this guy was sitting about 10 feet away at eye level! I snuck around the back of the car to grab my camera, and got a few pics of him before he flew away.

A beautiful capture, John. This is a lovely bird in flight - or just sitting and posing! djnana · 2011-06-24: 22:48
