The Black-capped Gnatcatcher is a small, active gnatcatcher found in arid and semi-arid regions of Central America and Mexico. Males are easily identified by their prominent black cap.
Where to spot
Inhabits arid thorn scrub, dry deciduous forests, and riparian thickets in northwestern Mexico south to western Honduras.
How to spot
Look for this small, restless bird foraging low to mid-level in dense vegetation. The male's black cap is a clear field mark. Listen for its thin, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round throughout its range. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.

The black cap of the male is a striking feature, which can be extended down to include the lores, making it appear as if it has a small black mask.
