the scissor-tailed flycatcher is a member of the kingbird family that is native to north and central america. the flycatcher is one of only four north american birds with tail feathers longer than the rest of the birds’ body; their unusually long tail has earned them the nickname ‘texas bird-of-paradise’. flycatchers feed off of insects, mainly caught in flight, along with berries.
