The Blue-gray Gnatcatcher is a tiny, highly active songbird found across much of North and Central America. Its name aptly describes its bluish-gray upperparts and white underparts.
Where to spot
Breeds across North America, migrating south to Central America and the Caribbean for winter. Found in deciduous and mixed forests, open woodlands, and riparian zones.
How to spot
Look for a very small, constantly moving bird with a long tail that it frequently wags. Listen for its thin, wiry, and often wheezy calls and songs, which are surprisingly loud for its size.
When to spot
Spring and summer for breeding in North America; fall and winter for migration and overwintering in southern parts of its range. Best observed during early mornings.

Males have a black eyebrow in breeding plumage, and both sexes are famous for their incredibly intricate, cup-shaped nests, often decorated with lichen and spiderweb, resembling a knot on a branch.
