6 Western Kingbirds and 1 Scissor-tailed Flycatcher Scissor-tailed in in the center right with 4 Western Kingbirds to its left, 1 above and 1 below Normally when I post a field report I put what I think is my best photo from the day up top. But I chose this one today because it shows 6 Western Kingbirds and 1 Scissor-tailed Flycatcher in the same tree, and in Central Florida. This is from Scrub Jay Lane in Minneola (Lake Co). I believe there were actually seven in the tree, but in the photos I took of this scene, five show up in all, one appears in some at the top of the frame, and one appears in others at the bottom of the frame. I have no photos with all seven in the same shot, so it's possible that the one on bottom flew to the top, but I don't think that's likely. When the kingbirds and flycatcher flew closer to me, I got some solo shots of them. What a weird morning! It's like a little Christmas tree in nature. 6 Western Kingbirds and 1 Scisso...
