As a follow up to recent Bushtit posts, our flock made its usual hit and run commando raid on our suet feeder this morning. There were about a dozen (ever try to count those guys? It's the avian equivalent of Whack-A-Mole). I thought I saw one that looked a bit different, and upon further inspection it proved to be a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. When the Bushtits fled the yard (they don't fly off, they flee), the gnatcatcher went with them. I guess the bird felt right at home in that crowd. I would never have noticed had I not picked up a glimpse of the eye-ring on the gnatcatcher.
