Saw two juvies and an adult Scissor-tailed Flycatcher around the Publix at New 
Salem & St. Andrews around 7:30pm today. One juvie was up on a wire along New 
Salem, the adult was sitting on one of the few plants taller than the grass in 
the field on the south side, and the 2nd young one was moving between the 
roadside fence and one of the power lines. (I didn't even see him until I was 
within 10 feet. He was fluffed up and fast asleep. Natural selection won't be 
his friend if he keeps up that kind of behavior.)

In any case, one of the juvies tried to beg from the other one, which resulted 
in a brief fight. That was kind of comical.
