Here is a Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher (51st island record, found by Rob Rockly), in mallow, a limited resource on the island that is much sought after by birds. The SEFI Landbird Conservation Consortium is currently transplanting ~14 mallows from a site that is to be demolished and turned into exotic-free seabird nesting habitat. The mallow will be moved to a reserve located halfway between the PRBO and Coast Guard houses. It will be named after a great mallow conservationist of yesteryear, Matthew L. Brady.
This Western Kingbird is upset, probably because it is in my hand.
