[louisaClay@xxxxxxxxx (Kathryn Clay)]

Can you believe it? We were stationed in San Antonio, Texas during the
big WW 2 and I would watch the scissor-t.Flycatchers catching insects
and they would make a clicking sound when they snapped their long tails
together--do you know if it WAS their tails or their beaks when they
caught insects? Herb had some gorgeous slides of them!!-K.C. Falls of
Rough,Ky.Grayson Co. Incidentally, my daugher called me from Florida and
said that a Great Horned Owl landed on the screen above their swimming
pool and made a sound like a CAT! Her Florida bird book called it a CAT
OWL (which I had never heard before)--I finally found it in Bent and it
said that the fledglings make sound like cats!!  (But I would never call
it a Cat Owl!!)  I know the Y.-b. Sapsucker souns like a cat--K.C.
