We observed both male and female Scissor-tailed Flycatchers at both locations 
Sunday afternoon.  Both females were sitting on their nests.  Strange as it 
may seem both nests are on light poles at the High School football fields. Both 
are on the same corner of the of the pole and each bank of lights has a metal 
wire mesh with the nest on the mesh.  As local birders know,  these two towns 
are only a short distance away separated by Sand Mountain.

I would like to make a suggestion that as many of us as possible check the 
schools in our immediate areas for additional nesting pairs.  With all of the 
large open expanses of mowed grass, the many different types of playing fields, 
tall utility poles and the hundreds of yards of chain link fences,  there is 
sufficient habitat ideally suitable for this species!
