    Not exactly sure this is a Blue-grey Gnatcatcher. Taken at The Pond at Elephant Head.

    A gnatcatcher indeed, and an exquisite look at the blessed cutiepie! Lovely light, color, details, perch, background, and the bird is delightful! "Good looks" at this feisty little ghost have eluded me thus far. A pettier lowlife than me would be filled to the gills with envy!

    Nice perch and pose of this sweet little gnatcatcher. The details on the bird look a little course. Is this a large crop? I like the angle of the light in this photograph.

    Great bird, perch, background. Good comp. Love the plump pose! I'd eliminate the white spots on the wing though...

    Roy,

    A lovely image...................however, your bird is actually a Lucy's Warbler.............probably a female.

    Hi Roy, great DOF throughout the image, and I like how the little guy is framed in the fork of the tree. The bird is nice and sharp, and I do like the BG.
