#bluegraygnatcatcher — Public Fediverse posts

A flash of silver-blue against deep green. This Blue-gray Gnatcatcher paused on a textured branch, its bright white eye-ring and black-and-white tail standing out against the shaded foliage. 🪶

I always thought of these branches as new deer antlers, so it seemed fitting when I learned it was Staghorn Sumac, so named because of these branches. As for the blurred bird, I love the motion. Living up to its name, it's chasing little insects that are flitting around.

Mist on a Branch

A blue-gray gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) visited a few days ago, threading through the crepe myrtles with quiet urgency, hunting insects like punctuation in the foliage.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

Poised in Blue-Gray

This blue-gray gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) dropped by some time ago. Maybe it was hunting spiders among the crepe myrtles, or just curious about the commotion of birds in the area. Hmmm... I think I may have photographed one before and mistaken it for a tufted titmouse. I’ll need to dig through the old photos and check.

My photo gallery features over 1300 carefully selected images. While most are chosen for their visual appeal, a few stand out as novelty shots. Feel free to explore my gallery at:

The Fluff Awakens

II bet I got two dozen good images of this blue-gray gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea). Then came the hard part—choosing just one to post this morning. I settled on this shot, which, interestingly enough, was the very first I took. I chose it because I happened to catch the tiny bird with its plumage in disarray at that exact moment. Normally, its feathers are sleek and smooth.

Blue-Gray Delight

A blue-gray gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) made an appearance in my backyard this morning, darting energetically among the branches. There might have been two, but it's hard to tell since they move around so quickly. These tiny birds are smaller than a chickadee yet slightly larger than a hummingbird, making their swift movements even more captivating.

Ethereal Gnatcatcher

"This blue-gray gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) was a summer visitor. One morning, my camera lens fogged up, creating some fascinating effects. This caused the world around the bird to appear dreamy. The green haze is from the forest in the background."

"The Blue-gray Gnatcatcher's grayish coloring and long tail, as well as the way it mixes snippets of other birds' repertoires into its own high, nasal songs, have earned it the nickname "Little Mockingbird."" - Copilot

Good morning, friends. 💮🐦💮

7 August 2024

Well, my fence is clean, today somebody is coming to repair the door on my small garage where I keep my lawn mower, motorcycle, tools, yada yada yada, and there is some storage. The repair of the garage is a self-created expanse, I ran into the bottom of the door with the Topp of my rollbar while backing my lawn mower into the garage. It misaligned the bottom rollers and gaggled up the cables on both sides, so I had to loosed both roller wheels, which took the tension out of the tension-spring. Messing with the tension-spring is not something that I want to do - it can be dangerous. So, I'm paying for my lack of attention.

Tiny Bug Hunter

There was a blue-gray gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) fluttering in and around my crepe myrtles this morning. At one point, I thought that I saw a hummingbird chasing the gnatcatcher. Anyway, here are two photos, I couldn't decide which one to post this morning so I'm posting both. The first one is clearer I think, but there is something about the second that I find appealing. I took the second photo just after going outside into the humid weather and the lens was fogged up.
