You saw some amazing birds Mae. I saw a rookery a few years ago in North Carolina and it was a pretty amazing sight. It must have been great to see. And I like that fly catcher too. Have fun. hugs-Erika

Hello Mae,
They are all beautiful birds and great sightings.
The Scissor-tailed Flycatcher is on my wish list of birds to see.
Take care, have a great day!

Another place I've never been that is easy driving distance from my house. I am glad you are getting some good birding in.
