The Black-tailed Gnatcatcher is a distinctive gnatcatcher of arid western North America, characterized by its long, mostly black tail. It is a highly active insectivore.
Where to spot
Inhabits arid and semi-arid scrublands, desert washes, and chaparral in the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico.
How to spot
Look for a small, active bird flitting through desert shrubs, constantly fanning and flicking its long, dark tail. Listen for its thin, buzzy calls.
When to spot
Primarily a resident species observed year-round. Most active during the cooler parts of the day, especially early morning.
