The little birds sound like Gnatcatchers...are they?

That's one possibility, but they're moving too fast for me to tell. If the clip included a location, that could help rule species out based on range.

I know it's kinda hard to identify the little ones visually...But the warning calls are what struck me as Gnatcatchers.

Oh, well, there was sound? I got no sound. :frown:

If you know the calls of gnatcatchers, then you're probably right. The flashes I saw of the tail color/pattern looked like the blue-gray gnatcatcher.
