Polioptila caerulea
Call
Non-breeding Blue-gray Gnatcatcher on Antelope Island. They are easy to spot with their obvious eye-ring
and black tail edged with white. They also have an unmistakable buzzing call. © Carol Davis, 9-17-06
This male gnatcatcher near Lytle Ranch shows the eyebrow mark
more typical of the breeding plumage. © Carol Davis,
This photo was taken on the road to Lytle Ranch. I pished this one in and he was very
persistent in finding the intruder. If you're ever in trouble, you can count on the
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher tobe one of the first birds to your rescue. © Carol Davis, 4-25-07
"Frenchie"
I pushed up the gamma on this photo to show the strange mustache
on this feisty little male Blue-gray Gnatcatcher we found on the
Arizona Strip not far from St. George. I haven't found one quite
like it in all my web browsing. Gives him kind of a French look...
