Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher

This was the first time I'd ever seen this bird. I caught the pair of them building a nest! I watched and photographed for about an hour. It was fascinating entertainment especially when she'd sit in the nest and twirl to pack it down to make the cup. I found them by accident. I was trying to photograph another bird when I spotted this tiny bird flitting nearby and grabbed my binoculars to check it out. I'm glad I did!
