My wife and I observered the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher this morning between (approx.) 9:45 -10:15am in the location descibed yesterday by Julian Sellers. For those interested, this is a first record for the county. I believe the bird is an immature, with the color of the belly varying in different light from the previously described yellow to a very pale orangy-pink or salmon. It's a beautiful bird. I was surprised that no other birders showed up the entire time we watched the bird......
