Golden-crowned Kinglet

Uploaded by: novembergale — Sunday October 21, 2012 — Forestville, NY (Current Weather Conditions)

These guys are barely larger than a hummingbird and flit around nearly as fast. They are in constant motion and it took quite a while for me to catch one sitting still for a brief moment.

Super catch of a "flitty" bird. I probably have them around, but am not familiar with their call or contact note. Thanks for sharing & helping us identify them.

Lovely shot! Here's a page of more information about these tiny birds: Link and where you can listen to their call.

I'd seen many of these in one of walnut trees just a few days ago, but didn't know what they were, so thank you for the great close-up!
