The California Gnatcatcher is a small, specialized songbird endemic to the coastal sage scrub habitat of Southern California and Baja California. It is a species of conservation concern.
Where to spot
Strictly limited to coastal sage scrub in southwestern California (USA) and northern Baja California (Mexico).
How to spot
Search dense coastal sage scrub. Look for a small, gray bird with a relatively long tail that it often flicks. Learning its distinct, cat-like mewing call is crucial for identification.
When to spot
A year-round resident in its specific habitat. Best observed during early mornings, particularly during the breeding season in spring.
