[birdky] Sissor-tailed Flycatcher

My daughter and I checked for the sissor-tailed flycatchers below Barkley Dam 
this afternoon. It only took a few minutes for Jessica, my sharp-eyed daughter, 
to spot the male flying away on her drivers side of the vehicle while I was of 
course checking the other side of the road. We drove a bit further south and 
soon relocated the male where it had landed on one of the small planted trees 
about 200 yds. south of the restroom building. The male repeatedly flew out to 
catch insects returning to one of the near-by small trees to perch and watch 
for the next passing insect. Emily, my 18 mo. old granddaughter, saw her first 
great blue herons at a close distance as the herons fished and perched below 
the dam.  Emily managed to say "great blue" for the first time.
