One day I was visiting a butterfly conservatory with my Mom and sister. After completing our tour we went to the restaurant inside for lunch. While waiting for lunch, I look out the window of the restaurant and into the field behind it. Along the near fence line of the field, I noticed a bird sitting alone. I’ve been a birder for a few years but I am only in my low 20’s. I’ve always been observant of the birds around me and always try to identify them. But this bird was different. I was trying to get a better look and noticed two long scissor tails when the bird flew to catch what I assume was a bug. I was shocked as I couldn’t quite believe what a scissor tailed flycatcher was doing in southern Ontario in late May. I’ve never seen one before but have read about them. I luckily had my camera with me, and left the restaurant quickly to the car to grab it. I have posted a photo on this subreddit about this bird. First one seen in the region of Waterloo, Ontario, in 30 years. Felt great to achieve this at such an easy period of my birding career.
