Raw Image Filename: IMG_9114.CR2

On a day of drizzling rain, a large number of Blue-gray Gnatcatcher were fluttering around the plants along the edge of Turtle Pond. I was sitting in the bird blind when I took this photograph. The light was poor and these birds are quick and nervous. It took a lot of attempts to get this rather middling photograph.
