Jeff, Barry, Bev and I saw the Sudlesville, Md Scissor-tailed Flycatcher from 12:50 - 1:05 pm. It caught 5 flying bugs and is eating well. After catching a bug it would return to the smallest wire and eat the bug. Sometimes it would whack the bug on the wire before eating. It then flew to the row of trees previously described by Gail M. 
Jeff and I looked for it for 1 1/2 hours this morning and did not see it. Glad we tried a second time.
It is missing both of its long tail feathers.
