Watched a Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher last night, along the bike trail. Though not as spectacularly colorful as the Yellow Warbler I had seen minutes, earlier, the little
Gnatcatcher was still quite handsome in the
Zeiss 8x20 compact. Through the
binocular, the distinctive white-edged tail and white eye ring were clearly visible, even in the tree cover. Since the temp was hovering at about 50 degrees, I'm not sure the little guy was finding many gnats or other insects, but I enjoyed watching. Seems like each evening is bring me more delights, so a
birding binocular is my constant companion, these days.
