Went out looking for this reported juvenile Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. First one I have ever seen. Glad it was right where it was reported to be.:) I quess we don't get very many of them around Vegas.

Nice find and captures Randy! He's a bit lost. He should be on his way south. Most of our Scissor-tails have left already.
