A Blue-grey Gnatcatcher, SMB photographer
Just look up as you take your walk on Pineneedle Drive or Oak Drive. You'll think you hear a cardinal (the gnatcatcher's chirp is similar). You'll see little birds high in the canopy flitting about. That's the gnat-catcher. They truly are grey. This orange color is from the warmth of the setting sun.
