Fork-tailed Flycatcher: October 21, 2007

Fork-tailed Flycatcher

I went to the Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge (in the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland) to go kayaking and bird watching on October 21. On the way in, my wife stopped me and asked if I saw the bird with the long tail on the power lines. I backed up the car and was able to get a few pictures. It was on power lines over the road between the camping trailer that is parked at the entrance to the island and an Osprey platform about a quarter mile down the road. I watched the bird and took photos for about 10 minutes around 11:00 am. Talking to another person about an hour and a half later, I found that he had also seen the bird but it left while he was watching it.
