      Invasive plant or not, the gnatcatcher sure looks great on top of its berries...

      Just incredible Ken, one of your best.

      Thanks, everyone! When that little guy lifted up its tail just as I depressed the shutter, I knew I had captured a dynamic moment. Gnatcatchers can be so unpredictable. I still want to get one hovering as it picks spiders off the tips of the branches!

      This is really a stunning photo. The bird is as clear as you could want it and the berries with their lovely color add so much more to the scene!
