Bird

I spent a lot of time trying to get a photo of this little one. Like many small birds, it was very skittish and wouldn’t let me get a clean shot until, finally, it moved to a place where it wasn’t occluded.

Still no idea what kind of bird it is.

Blue-gray gnatcatcher?

I am informed that it is a female black-tailed gnatcatcher, because I have knowledgeable friends on Facebook.

Now I just need to post a photo of the weird warbler that's been coming to my feeders that doesn't match *any* of the warbler pictures.

Also, that's a great photo; I really love it, and I know at least some of how hard it was to get because I have trouble with little guys like that just catching them in the binoculars.
