Hi Ken,

Looks like a Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher to me.

This young guy was deep in the bushes at the Orchard Gulch Trail head on the Rocky Canyon Road (aka E Shaw Mountain Road, Race to Robie Creek Road).

I did not see an adult responding to the feed me request but I was mostly focused on helping my wife try out a new lens and find birds.

Hello All!

We have this odd-looking hummingbird at our feeder right now: https://ebird.org/checklist/S115618157

Does anyone have any thoughts on whether or not this is a hybrid, or just a strange Black-chin? I have never seen a BCHU raise the front feathers on its crown before, but this is something I have observed ANHU doing.

Thank you for your input, and have a great weekend!
