Scissortail Lands at CB

OK!  For the first time that anybody has noticed, a scissortail flycatcher has actually taken up flycatching over the CB airspace.  Plus, it has actually landed.  That's because the CB east pasture is a meadow this season and full of flying insects.  Why do they call the scissortail a flycatcher?  Easy that.
 


Yet the scissortail flycatcher is also famous as the State Bird of Okrahoma.   But few know the meaning of the word, Okrahoma. Much less the ancient language or tongue that first formulated Okrahoma as a regular word of that particular tongue or lingo. Turns out though, Okrahoma is a word first employed by the Nehi Indians to describe themselves.  The meaning is maybe "the men who are like okra".   Although , Okrahoma could also mean, maybe, "the men who like okra, or "the men who eat okra."  Or, "the men who are consumed by okra."  Or, "the men who could not live without okra."

Yes.  Apparently the Nehi Indians featured the same difference with okra as did the normal Indians with bison. 

OK!  If you click to maximize the image above, there is a pretty good look at a scissortail anus.
