Ruby-crowned Kinglet

[Woody Meristem]

Ruby-crowned kinglets are hardly ever stop moving, flitting from branch to branch in an unending quest for insects. I was lucky when this male stayed on this branch for about five seconds, just long enough for a few photos. Never underestimate luck.

Nice job Woody!

Nice shot, and nice look at that ruby crown! This is currently my nemesis bird. It seems like everybody but me is able to see, let alone photograph one

Outstanding shot! They are an incredibly difficult bird to ID let alone get a shot of!

Beautiful. I've had a female flitting around the trees in the forest behind my backyard fence for almost a week now but I have yet to see the male.

Well captured

 

[Woody Meristem]

Thanks all. I've photographed them before but this male stayed in one place as long as any I've ever seen.

Nice photo Woody, he's showing off his Red Crown
