Found this very busy pair of Blue Grey Gnatcachers building their beautiful lichen nest to get ready for their babies. Happy Spring!

Thanks for looking,

Pear

    Pear, those are beautiful! I love the wing spread in the first, but all are so crisp in detail with such a soft background. Way to go! I need to practice with the smaller birds. I'm better with the big slow ones! Best, Pam

    Hi Stumble, Dave, Pam, Dsrt!

    Sorry for the late reply and thanks so much for your lovely comments! Most of our beautiful ducks have left NJ for the season, and the warblers are all coming in, so it's time to bring out the little brid skills again. Those guys are so fast, but a lot of fun!

    Hope you are well.

    Best wishes,

    Pear
