Scissor Tailed Flycatcher Tapestries

Realistic Illustrated Cartoon Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. State bird of Oklahoma.

Scissor-tailed Flycatcher the Oklahoma State Bird by Debra Martz I had spent quite awhile watching one of these from the end of a boardwalk but it was off a ways in the distance. I waited and waited for it to take flight but no such luck. Then as I was leaving, at the far other end of the boardwalk I looked up to see this beauty perched above me on a vine that was spreading over the top of a Live Oak Motte. The range of the state bird of Oklahoma is much of south-central United States and spends it winters in Mexico and Central America. I captured this one in early March on Padre Island at Corpus Christi, Texas.

This is my acrylic painting of the Oklahoma state bird and flower, the scissor-tailed flycatcher and the Oklahoma Rose. The Oklahoma rose is a hybrid tea rose. Oklahoma was admitted to the union on November 16, 1907 as the 46th state. This painting is part of my state bird and flower collection.

I preferred this side with the golden fall grasses as a backdrop as the other side they were on power lines. They are the Oklahoma State Bird yet they are also a migratory bird and will be heading south soon.
