Ruby Crowned Kinglet Touch and Go by Debra Martz
This little Ruby-crowned Kinglet landed just to my left and quickly flitted to the next plant. I luckily got a quick shot off and it was on to the next plant and then out of sight in a few seconds.

This is an adult male ruby-crowned Kinglet (Regulus calendula). It has a few red feathers on top of its head that I was able to notice only when it flitted about in bushes.
Up close and personal with a #kinglet friend! 
It flew away seconds after taking this photo! 
@loren , I noticed some activity in the spruce trees earlier today. Grabbed my camera and discovered it was a Golden-crowned kinglet, a first for mee and for the garden. I guess they are passing through from their breeding grounds up north. All the other passerines have been gone for a while. The photo isn't the best, but it was cool!
Golden-crowned kinglets are everywhere in Prospect Park these days (Brooklyn, NY). They are very small and never sit still...

Golden-crowned Kinglets showed up in the neighborhood this week after seemingly being gone all summer. Since my dad was an audiologist I am aware my high-frequency sensitivity has dropped somewhat in recent years - so I am always particularly pleased to still be able to pick up these near-ultrasonic calls above 8 kilohertz. Wee lisping trills up in the cedars like someone whistling through their teeth. #Birding #Kinglet #Oregon
Always amazes me how these little guys can hold it together in the winter. Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned Kinglets are in constant motion and have metabolisms in overdrive, but are almost hummingbird-class tiny. AND, they are primarily insect-eaters, although they eat seeds in the winter. It was seasonably (whatever that means) cold at Hempstead Lake State Park (NY) today, but they were zipping around.

Sharing a holiday berry together. Almost feels like an Edward Hopper painting.

I've been fishing through old pictures to update my website and found this little #Kinglet pic that I absolutely do not remember taking. I think it's pretty cute though.
