These small, very active birds are found in southwestern deserts. They closely resemble the widespread blue-gray gnatcatcher (which lacks a black cap) and the somewhat less strikingly marked California gnatcatcher. These males paused briefly on ocotillo stems, agave leaves, creosote bushes, and palo verde trees near Palm Desert and in Joshua Tree National Park, both in southern California. |
