Foto Friday - Scissor-tailed Flycatcher

I went out for a walk last night and saw a couple Scissor-tailed Flycatcher’s catching bugs on the ground. I laid down on the ground and inched as close to them as I could. My auto-focus was having a hard time keeping up but this one turned out OK. I just wish the sidewalk wasn’t in the background.

Captured with Canon 7D and Cano 400mm 5.6 L handheld.
