On the edge
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
I thought I actually observed the first Blue-gray Gnatcatcher that had returned from migration yesterday, but because I only heard the feisty bird's buzzing without ever seeing it, I elected not to count the fleeting auditory "glimpse" as proof positive of a May 2nd arrival. Today, however, there was no doubt whatsoever that Polioptila caerulea is back. The energetic charmer first showed up on the kindling pile, and after allowing me to take a few relatively undistinguished pictures, it disappeared for a few minutes and then showed up atop the old wine barrels, where it also posed for the camera and the zoom telephoto. I hope I captured its good side.
