A Blue-gray Gnatcatcher was foraging on the north slope of the hollow at Duncan's Cove, HRM, this afternoon.  There were a few moths flying about the last time I was here but none were seen this afternoon. Perhaps the relentless foraging of this diminutive bird will find these snoozing moths, or some nice green grubs.  If I could give this bird any advice it would be to team up with the local chickadees.

I managed a few photos but this is a frustrating bird to photograph as it flits back and forth, in and out, through the tangles.

Hans
