Title: Is this a blue-gray gnatcatcher or what?
Post by: Nkwazi on May 25, 2008, 08:56:46 PM

Seen at the base of the Leslie Spit, Toronto on May 17.  B-G GC seems the most likely suspect, but the beak seems a little long and the eye-ring isn't evident.  Any ideas?

Yes,  I'd say that's a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher.  There's really nothing else around here that looks like it.  Also, there is a weak eye ring, most noticeable towards the rear.
