Gobemoucheron gris-bleu
The blue-gray gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) is a very small gnatcatcher native to North America.
Description
It is 10–13 cm (3.9–5.1 in) in length, 6.3 in (16 cm) in wingspan, and weighing only 5–7 g (0.18–0.25 oz). Adult males are blue-gray on the upperparts with white underparts, slender dark bill, and a long black tail edged in white. Females are less blue, while juveniles are greenish-gray. Both sexes have a white eye ring.
Reproduction
Both parents build a cone-like nest on a horizontal tree branch, and share feeding the young. The incubation period is 10–15 days for both sexes, where the female lays a clutch of 4–5 eggs. The blue-gray gnatcatcher can raise up to two broods in a season.
