Article Abstract:

A two-year study of Scissor-tailed Flycatchers in southwestern Oklahoma revealed minimal extra-pair copulations in their mating patterns and the adults' feeding of nestlings and aggressive responses to predators. Nest building, incubation and brooding of young were tasks managed solely by female Flycatchers.
