Gnatcatcher Range Map
The Blue-gray Gnatcatcher breeds from southern
Oregon, northern California, southern Idaho,
central Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, western Iowa,
southeastern Minnesota, Michigan, southwestern
Quebec, central New York, central Vermont and
southern Maine south to Baja California, to
southeastern Texas, the Gulf Coast, and southern
Florida, throughout Mexico to Central America. It
winters from southern California, southern
Nevada, western and central Arizona, central
Texas, the southern portions of the Gulf States
and on the Atlantic Coast from Virginia south
through Mexico to Central America. In the
Southeast, the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher inhabits
forested river bottoms and upland pine woods with
an understory of oaks. In other areas, it may
inhabit open scrub and woodlands or tall trees of
closed canopy along river flood plains.
Throughout the West it breeds in oaks,
pinyon-juniper and less frequently in chaparral.
