Scissor-tailed bird grasshopper impaling

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I am from central Texas and am quite familiar with the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. I have watched them stick grasshoppers on the barbed-wire barbs and have seen many many grasshoppers having been immpaled. Could this information be put in as a detail? It is quite unique in its use of man-made adaptations to the environment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kargin (talk • contribs) 15:06, 22 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Scissor Tailed Flycatcher spotted in OC California

OMG, my second time spotting a Scissor Tailed Flycatcher in Orange County California! Last year I thought it was just a fluke, but yesterday(Sept 20, 2019) I saw that bad boy! What a ear catching song(chatter). I could not hurry my husband fast enough to share that vision with him. Wow! So, my question to the bird watching enthusiasts. Is this a phenomenon, to spot this bird in OC Calif?

Scissor-tailed Flycatcher Wingspan

Latest comment: 4 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The description of the Scissor-Tailed Flycatcher in the Wikipedia article cites the wingspan as 5.9 in (15 cm). This would put the size somewhere between a Ruby-throated Hummingbird and a Golden-crowned Kinglet. This is clearly a misprint that, unfortunately, is repeated in several other websites online. The Sibley Guide gives the length as 11.2 in (28.4 cm) and the wingspan as 15 in (38 cm). This makes much more sense. 2601:18C:9201:5C30:69C9:59FB:2D07:6B01 (talk) 19:59, 14 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
