Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Identification, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology

As it moves, this steely blue-gray bird conspicuously flicks its white-edged tail from side to side, scaring up insects and chasing after them. Pairs use spiderweb and lichens to build small, neat nests, which sit on top of branches and look like tree knots.
