Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
A tiny, long-tailed bird of broadleaf forests and scrub-lands, the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher makes itself known by its soft but insistent calls and its constant motion. It hops and sidles in dense outer foliage, foraging for insects and spiders. As it moves, this steely blue-gray bird conspicuously flicks its white-edged tail from side to side, scaring up insects and chasing after them. Pairs use spiderweb and lichens to build small, neat nests, which sit on top of branches and look like tree knots.
This series continues in the spirit that the bird series placed by "honeychile" initiated. Her joy in the outdoors and a love of caching helps bring people here who might not otherwise have a reason to season their day with such simple pleasures. This series is a welcome for new visitors and welcome back to those who have been here before. Look for the caches, but don't forget to look for the birds and the other wildlife along the trail.
The cache contains a log only. BYOP.
