Golden Crowned Kinglet

These little gals are often around but nearly impossible to

photograph away from a bird feeder. I had been trying for two years

without success until today. This is the one keeper I got in about

fifty frames -- they move so fast, never stay on a branch for more

than a second, and are usually partially concealed. I got it by

guessing the next branch it was going to hop on! It was here about

one second, and in fact I assumed I was too late with my snap but was

pleasantly surprised! I don't think they are much larger than a

hummingbird.

Top shelf capture!

Very sharp. Nice background.

Well done, your patience and perseverence has paid off.

Thanks to all those who lefts comments and ratings.
