AB says today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #50ShadesOfGrey: birds with grey plumage. Alt. is #Fledglings: any newly fledged bird. A Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher, peering carefully down at the photographer.

Tiny bird, left side of image, on branch, peering down at the photographer. Tangle of thin, leafless branches, thicker to the right, thinner to the left near the bird, against a bright blue cloudless sky. Bird is small, pale white under, varied shades of gray on back and wings. Tiny round beak, thin white ring around eye.
