Neat pics as always! Love watching scissor tails in flight, especially when there are a couple of them messing with each other.

Both are bullies of the sky

Scissortails are really pretty birds. Great pics ranchman!

Both are bullies of the sky They both have an attitude when another bird gets close to their nesting area. I have seen 7 Scissor-tails in a fight at one time and another time I saw 5 Mockingbirds. I have seen Scissor-tail and Mockingbird fight but not really that bad. Worst I seen was a couple of Mockingbirds go from fighting in mid-air to the ground. Only one flew away at first then the other took off slowly later. I'd put money on the Mockingbird of these two in a fight though. Thanks guys.

Very cool in flight pictures. Really captured that under wing color of the scissor tail. That mock looks like he just scored with the prettiest mock on the block.
