After completing our second (and final) Breeding Survey of the summer, Simon
Thompson and I drove to Monroe to see the Scissor-tailed Flycatchers. Both
were still around, with the female staying close to the nest on the tower,
and the male perching in a tree in the field. Hand-made signs let you know
that you have found the correct gravel roads, and one sign suggests where
you need to park. A spotting scope is very helpful, since you do not want
to get too close to the nest. Hopefully, their nesting will be a success
It will be interesting to see if it is.
