Rockstar Bird (for Indiana)
Some of you a bit west, say in Texas and Oklahoma, may be used to seeing scissor-tailed flycatchers. For Indiana, they are a rare visitor--rarer still to find one nesting! This bird is about 20 minutes from my home, but birders from all over the state have come to see it. Yesterday it would leave the nest for varying lengths of time, then return to and stay in the nest (nest not in photo). There have been sightings of a male, but no documentary photos. This photo was shot at quite a distance, hand held, and highly cropped.
