Along the footpath beside the railway tracks and canal in Bellows
Falls, a Blue-gray gnatcatcher an hour ago stepped out in front of me
with tail raised as it trod up and down in plain view, which I recall
is a territorial thing though not sure. There were very pretty
complaints from inside the brush too. ...have only ever encountered
them before in Champlain valley, poss migration? Time to brush up on
ebird. Self pity over no garden for a year went poof : ). Happy
birding, Veer
