46 - Scissor Tail Flycatcher

 Scissor Tail Flycatcher

#46 in the Birdseed Project

Every late spring, the scissor tail flycatchers return to Texas for the summertime. Seeing them brings back memories of childhood. It was my mom who introduced me to the scissor tail. We also had them at our farm. They particularly liked to perch on the barb wire, like the one I painted, here.

This is the state bird for Oklahoma. We are grieving with them over the tornado tragedy that happened just today...

Please remember that you can donate to the Birdseed Project!

A handsome little visitor who enjoys the birds at my mom's nursing home. The birds provide interest and distraction for visitors to the home. The residents enjoy them every day, but I see their family members escaping to the windows for a few minutes to watch little bird life outside.
