folkloricfeel: Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher at Rondeau Provincial…
Wednesday, May 21st, 2014Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher at Rondeau Provincial Park.
The best thing about this photo, which you wouldn’t necessarily notice unless you were looking for it: This gnatcatcher is wagging its tail from side to side. That’s why the tail is cocked way off to the side like that, and maybe accounts for the tail being a little blurry toward the end (though I guess that also could be an effect of the narrow depth of field).
Gnatcatchers are constantly wagging their tails from side to side. It’s kind of adorable. Also: They make a sound that I describe during docent outings as “like an angry kitten.”
How could you not love a bird like that?
