Can anyone identify this bird I saw perching in my yard? There is nothing to show scale, but its body is about the size of a mockingbird. It was catching flying insects.

Northwest Bossier Parish, LA, where I live, is just barely inside the eastern edge of its range.
Thanks for posting this.

Yep, that’s a scissor tail. Oklahoma state bird.
Must be migrating back to his Oklahoma home.

He's welcome to just stay here and eat 'skeeters!
We see them but not that often.

I see them pretty often around here. They're fun to watch when they're chasing bugs. Pretty aerobatic little suckers.
