Thanks, Louisa. I hope the best for the wee gnatcatchers. Although their nest is anchored in the trunk of a sturdy sagebrush, it is right next to the trail and will see comings and goings on a human scale

Blue-gray gnatcatchers nest in several location in southern Idaho.

Anyone familiar with blue-gray gnatcatchers? There is a nesting pair of the tiny, energetic wonders near the trailhead of the Daniels Creek trailhead up Bogus Basin Road above Boise. I ask because the range maps show blue-gray gnatcatchers typically breeding well to the south of us.
