I observed the area South of Florence where the pair of Scissor-tailed Flycatchers have been nesting for about 2 hours this morning (Saturday). I saw the ever-faithful male, who was perched in the nest tree for much of that time I was there. I did not see the female at all. Though the nest is hard to see I do not believe the female was sitting in it. I received two replies to my earlier request for info about the female as I was last able to view this location on Monday before I went out of town. The only sighting since mine on Monday was a single bird, gender unknown, this afternoon. I took a few photos of the male, who had left the nest tree to forage, showing the deep salmon underwing as he groomed when perched on the powerline north of the nest tree. I have uploaded those to my Birds and Nature blog.
