Birdtober Day 4: Extravagant Tail
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher
This gorgeous Flycatcher is home to the open Great Plains, often seen perched on a fence post. Named after its large forked tail which allows it great maneuverability in the air, aiding in it catching aerial insects.

Birdtober Day 3: Pollinator
While when you think of pollinators, insects will often be first of mind, but birds can also fill this very important ecological role.

In the deserts of the Southwest, White-winged Doves and Gila Woodpeckers can be important pollinators for the Saguaro Cactus. #birds

Birdtober Day 2: Sparrow
This medium-sized Sparrow is pretty dapper looking with their bold facial markings and bold black throat and breast.
Found in shrubby desert areas in its range, often on the ground as it forages for seeds and insects.
