Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers are not the showiest of birds, but are fun to watch in Springtime, when they are singing, and nesting.
Most male songbirds are distinctly more flashy than their mates, and do all of the singing. Male and female Blue-gray Gnatcatchers are very similar in appearance, but the male has a blackish, thin eyebrow, which distinguishes it from the female. (The one in the picture is a female.)
They are fairly common in SE Michigan in spring and summer. This one was seen in Colorado at Roxborough State Park.
