    Seems a bit late moving on. Adult males are blue-gray on the upperparts with white underparts, slender dark bill, and a long black tail edged in white. Females are less blue, while juveniles are greenish-gray. Both sexes have a white eye ring.

    These tiny, cute little birds are perpetual motion machines, scurrying around the trees nabbing insects and seemingly never standing still for even a moment.

    Blue-gray gnatcatcher

    This week I had a chance to go on a bird safari around central Texas and the Texas Gulf Coast. Got some good pictures of some magnificent raptors, but in many ways, this little guy stole the show. Except for the Whooping Cranes. That's what's known as a "teaser" for those of you following along.

    I was just checking out our community park thinking I'd might see the RS hawks. I spotted this guy hiding in some bushes and got a few mediocre images. Then he popped out onto the pavement and gave me some clearer shots. Never saw one on the ground before. At The Bays of Prince Creek...
