Great Picture! You were lucky of being there yesterday to take decent pictures of this bird since this morning it was extremely difficult to do so and the light was not the best either. Nobody was allowed to approach (less than 125 feet from) the bird. Access to the area was constrained and there were several blockades around the sections of the sanctuary where the flycatcher was perching. Only birders with good scopes were able to get a good mirror image of the bird.
If you are interested in bird photography and you want to take a decent picture of the Fork-tailed Flycatcher you may need a pretty long lens (above 500mm) and a 1.7x or 2.0x teleconverter since you will not be able to come close enough to take good shots.
