Blue-gray Gnatcatcher

Polioptila caerulea

Notes:

This little bird was very agitated to have me around. It even looks like it's frowning with the black lines above the eyes:-) I saw this bird in the woods at Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park.

Jamie, they started to show up here in Massachusetts in the last few days. Maybe I'll see this one up here when I go out birding:-)
