BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS: PICTURE PERFECT ON ABACO (13)
Polioptila caerulea PR|B|1
A delicate featherweight gnatcatcher that has characteristic full eye-rings. The long tail may
be cocked when perching, often as a territorial assertion. They are capable of hovering briefly over shrubs to feed on insects, but mostly they ‘hawk’ for insects on the wing (“Birds of Abaco”).

ROLLING HARBOUR ABACO 
I’m not sure who I am writing to but I have a list of some 50 species of birds that I have seen on Winding Bay over the last 10 weeks. Is that of interest to anyone?
With kind regards,
David Stewart

Hi David, I’d definitely like to see your list – 50 is a pretty good number for one location! It will be interesting to see the transition of the migratory birds from winter to summer. Can you email the list to rollingharbour.delphi@gmail.com
