It remained wet and not really conducive to trekking, and with an early Easter dinner planned for this afternoon, I didn't have time for anything particularly ambitious. Still, to try to fulfill my mandate, I managed a quick walk into the backwoods and there, I detected a familiar, high-pitched buzzing. I'd heard the same sound yesterday afternoon, and this morning, I came prepared with binoculars and the 100-400mm Sigma attached to the dSLR. I called the bird and, praise be, it responded and kept moving closer and closer to me. The light was pretty grim, but I did manage a few decent shots: easily enough to ID the small and energetic bird, with the distinctive voice, white eye-ring, and white stripe along the edge of the long tail, as a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. God only knows there are enough gnats and blackflies currently in the air. Bon appetit, new bird. Bon appetit.
