[<gaddy@xxxxxxxx>]

Anita and I saw two Scissor-tailed flycatchers last weekend in downtown
South Pittsburg.  They were near the football field flying around the lights
and perching on wires in the area.  They have been seen in this area for
several years now.  We love watching these graceful birds and are delighted
that there seems to be more frequent sightings in recent years.
