What a cool male Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. There was more than one, but I could not count them. I was surpried to capture this photo. Very cool. I guess he was hunting bugs.

These photos do not do capture the beauty of the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. The colors are so much brighter .. or at least it seemed that way.

This is not my best photo but this Blue-gray Gnatcatcher was constantly on the move.
Did I say little? They run about 10–13 cm (3.9–5.1 in) in length, 6.3 in (16 cm) in wingspan,[2] and weighing only 5–7 g (0.18–0.25 oz) (wikipedia). Most of that length seems to be in the tail:).

We have fequently photographed flycatchers on our many hikes but this week I was surprised to see this Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. Making meals from flies seems like an interesting challenge, but now we are talking gnats? Cool bird.
