I was lucky enough to be driving near Captree when the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher yesterday (10/22) was reported and I got a couple photos. Prior to that I had been at Jones Beach West End where I photographed plenty of Yellow-rumped warblers and watched a Sharp-shinned Hawk chase a Northern Flicker and a Merlin chase a Sharpie.
