The first scissor-tailed flycatcher in the 8 years of the MAPS program on Ft. Riley was netted and banded by Jethro Runco and Denise Jones on June 1, 2001 at Myersdale Prairie. This bird is a female, but a male was seen at the same banding station that day, so hopefully he and some young flycatchers can be banded later in the year.
