Subject: Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, Jeff City Airport
I birded wind-blown Mokane Road at mid-day. Several Lark Sparrows, No
STFL. But, I reasoned, if I had a tail that gorgeous I wouldn't want it
blown askew in the aerial maelstrom.

Then, as I came to the entrance to the airport at 1:23 p.m., at the
intersection of Airport Rd. and Hibernia Rd., a male STFL flew off the
power line, nabbed an insect (that was quite a feat in the wind!), and
returned to the power line.

Bodacious Birding!
