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.

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

"This image captures the delicate charm of a blue-gray gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) perched gracefully on a slender branch against a softly blurred green background. The bird's blue-gray plumage is accented by white underparts and subtle black markings on its wings and long tail, with its sharp beak pointing downward as though scanning for insects. The vibrant contrast between the bird's serene colors and the natural green backdrop draws attention to its fine details and elegant pose." - Copilot

Made expressive by its dramatic white "eyebrows", a small gray-blue bird with a yellow-white chest galres angrily down from a tree.

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

High among the first leaf buds of spring, a tiny, long-tailed bird with a bright eye-ring pauses with an even tinier insect in its beak, next to its eggcup nest of lichen and spiderwebs.

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.

"A blue-gray gnatcatcher, a small bird, perches gracefully on a bare branch. The branch itself is positioned between two crepe myrtle trees, their vibrant pink flowers creating a striking contrast against the bird’s subtle plumage. In the background the sky peers through an out of focus forest of trees and foliage. The scene captures a delicate balance between nature’s beauty and the bird’s poised presence." - Copilot with edits

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.
What do you think?

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea)

I think this is the first time I have photographed a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea). I was standing on the southern side of the marsh at Charles H. Rogers Wildlife Refuge when I saw movement in the trees. It took some patience but eventually, the bird landed a bit lower.

The Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) is a small, active songbird. It has a striking appearance with predominantly blue-grey plumage, a white underbelly, and a long, thin tail. The wings often show [...]

First time seeing a Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher with my own eyes. I managed two photos, this one and a super blurry one. I’m A-OK with this for a first photo.
