This is a big goal of mine. The Scissor-tail Flycatcher is a beautiful bird and very difficult to catch in flight because they are so quick and acrobatic in flight. This fellow played hide and seek with me for quite a while before I got him in flight - almost, check the feet. Feeling very blessed to have made the image. Enjoy!
