Gnatcatcher in July? (Polioptila caerulea)

In the 9 years I've been keeping a log, I have never had a Gnatcatcher here in the dead of summer. Usually a spring and fall bird for me. They do breed in my part of the world but I've never seen them during the summer.
Location
Myrtle Beach, SC
Date taken
July, 2015
Scientific name
Polioptila caerulea
Equipment used
Nikon D90, SIGMA 80-400/4.5-5.6 DG OS NIKON AF

A great picture this KC - well done lass.

You must be doing something right to attract them in at this time of year then.
