**TOS Fall Meeting and Symposium -- Oct 12-14, 2012**
This morning around 7:00 I made a few passes up and down Batson Blvd. in
Springfield and after about 20 minutes of searching I spotted the
Scissor-tailed Flycatchers sitting together on a power line, only this time
there three. One of them looked as if it might be a young bird because its tail
was a bit shorter. Also, they were in a different spot than before. This
morning they were near where Batson Blvd. ends at Hwy 431, on the wires above
the field bordered by Kumar Lane and Carr Creek.
