Unusual nest sites of scissor-tailed flycatchers (Tyrannus forficatus)

Abstract

In 2015 and 2016, we documented two cases of Scissor-tailed Flycatchers (Tyrannus forficatus) nesting in metal corral mechanisms on the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Comanche County, Oklahoma. Known to nest in a variety of natural and human constructed locations, these observations represent two novel locations being used by Scissortailed
Flycatchers.
