Day 134: Blue-gray Gnatcatcher

The Blue-gray Gnatcatcher is a small songbird and the only truly migratory gnatcatcher. Depending on the season, it can be found from Maine and southern Ontario south to Belize and El Salvador, and from New England west to northern California.




Adult males are blue-grey on top with white underparts and have a long slender bill, long black tail and a black unibrow. Females are less blue without the unibrow, and both sexes have a white eye ring. Blue-gray Gnatcatchers mainly eat insects and spiders.
