California Gnatcatcher male protects his nest

This video was taken by Sea and Sage Audubon Society member and all around amazing bird photographer, Sandrine Biziaux Scherson. Here's what she had to say, "He and his mate have hatchlings they have to feed all day long. He does't want me to spot the nest, so he just stopped a few feet away from me (out of breeding season he would never stay that close) and started preening until I left. Smart guy :) California Gnatcatcher are listed as Threatened by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service since 1993."
