Observation details

Photos and recording. Pair of gnatcatchers with very long bills, foraging low in mesquite just beyond where upper and lower loop of Birding Trail reconnect (31.4997067, -110.8435492). Distinct BCGN vocalizations, readily compared with a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher that eventually started vocalizing nearby (heard repeatedly in recording, with two BCGN calls). Will attach documentation when I get back to a computer in a few days. Note black above eye in male.
