Blue-gray Gnatcatcher

Species Details

This tiny, long-tailed bluish-gray bird resembles a miniature mockingbird and prefers forests and scrubland. The nest is built on a low tree branch, a compact cup of spider web, and caterpillar silk covered with lichens or bark fragments. The song is a thin, wheezy series of notes. Winters further south in the U.S. and in Central America.
