I drove by a few guys walking a road early this week, they all had cameras. I stopped to ask and wen they said a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher had been seen I offered to help locate it again. Not sure how it ended up here but it was here. They're usually a southern bird, they might venture into southern Ontario from time to time but I suspect its a rarity here. Cornell's "All About Birds" doesn't even include Newfoundland on the map illustrating its range. Possibly blown up this way by winds from hurricane Ernesto in August...who knows..Cute little bird, about 3 inches in length and this one wasn't vocalizing too much. My pleasure to see it and photograph it and share it with you folks!@
