Scissor-tailed Flycatcher (Tyrannus forficatus) (1) - Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park--Wet Prairie Teal and Harrier Trails, Franklin, Ohio - Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=39.9176362,-83.2083893&ll=39.9176362,-83.2083893 - Checklist: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S30330048 - Comments: "Intersection of Teal and Harrier Trails. Flew from willow scrub toward ENE. Light colored slender bird with very long tail, twice the length of body. Followed with binoculars until it was lost in the distance. Never stopped flying once it took off. Never split tail. First glance made me think of bird trailing long reeds from mouth until bins showed it to be tail." ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
