Attack of the Scissortail Flycatchers

Longview Lake, KC, Mo

Neat shot. The one I recently got a photo of had just finished chasing away a Swainson's Hawk. They are tough birds to say the least.

How long did you have to patiently wait for that shot? You should send it to a nature magazine! Bobbie and Dick

WOW! Tom, great find and terrific action shot. These type of situations only come along once in a while. V.
