*** About Scissor-tailed Flycatcher: The Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, officially known as Tyrannus forficatus, is renowned for its exceptionally long tail feathers, which can be as much as twice its body length. Predominantly found in Texas and Oklahoma, these birds are agile flyers, known for their acrobatic twists and buoyant flights. They are often seen in open fields and along roadsides, where they hunt for insects and small invertebrates. During breeding season, their aerial displays become even more pronounced as they perform to attract mates and defend their territories. The scissor-tail's habitat is crucial to its survival, making the conservation of grassland areas an important focus for environmentalists.:
