Blue-gray Gnatcatcher with Prey
Waiting patiently for warblers to arrive, I spotted my first Butterbutt and froze as they flocked into the trees in front of me. As I tried to focus on one as it hopped from tree to tree, I spied this Blue-gray Gnatcatcher and aimed my lens. Wouldn't you know, he grabbed a worm just as I focused and gobbled it down! Pretty good action for my FOY Gnatcatcher! I also found a Hermit Thrush, Brown Thrasher, Greater Yellowlegs, and the Butterbutt. I can't wait to see what today brings!!!!!

Beautiful pictures, I could watch and listen to the birds all day.
Great series! He really enjoyed that worm!
Excellent pictures.At this time of year each day may bring new surprises.

I loved seeing him 'choke' down that worm and in the last picture he looks like he might be saying...See I ate the whole thing!
Simply fantastic. The whole set is perfectly sharp and with a very nice light... And I discovered a new species. Thanks for sharing.
Gulp!!!
