Beautiful bird and composition Daniel!
Thank you much Roy!
Great photo of a really interesting bird. Well done.
A most interesting bird which, unfortunately, I'm unlikely to ever see. Thanks for sharing, Daniel.

Wonderful photo of a Fork-tailed Flycatcher! Same genus as Scissor-tailed but different species.
Thank you!
Thank you for the clarification. My mistake. I translated from the Spanish "Tijereta" that means scissors. This is a case for using the genus and species name: Tyrannus savana.
Thank you for your comments. Yup, Australia is far from South America. Still you have birds with awesome colors in Australia.
Thank you much!

The Fork-tailed Flycatcher has a longer tail than a Scissor-tailed and its tail does look more like scissors, as your stunning photo shows. So I agree that the names seem to be reversed. The fork-tailed was named in the late 1700s. Maybe forks looked different then.
Thank you for the background and historical information. Very informative.
