*** About Scissor-tailed Flycatcher: The Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, scientifically known as Tyrannus forficatus, is a striking bird native to North and Central America. Commonly found in Texas and other parts of the Southern United States during breeding season, it is renowned for its exceptionally long tail feathers, which can be twice the length of its body. The species is often seen perched conspicuously on fences or wires, sallying out to catch insects in flight. This bird not only captivates bird watchers with its aerodynamic antics and graceful tail movements but also plays a crucial role in local ecosystems by controlling insect populations. Its distinctive appearance and behavior make it a beloved subject for both photography and art, such as represented in this Texas-inspired piece.:
