I was able to spend a couple of hours in the park and managed to capture a couple of Kinglets (Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned). They are such fun to watch. These tiny acrobatic birds flit about so fast they are hard to photograph. Every click of the shutter found them in a new position.

Such a treat to see your kinglets, Sherry; and great to see both species. Our ruby-crowns have come in now and keep me, too, chasing after them with joy. Their acrobatics and fluttering in place are delightful.

I must have since I know the name and they look very familiar. I’ll be a bit more observant this winter as I should see them here in England and in Portugal.

Hope you find them. The maps shows where they can be found https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Ruby-crowned_Kinglet/id and https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Golden-crowned_Kinglet/id Fall migration is a good time to catch them.

Welp. I see that the Golden Crown may visit me in winter, however Ruby is going to avoid the Midwest. I’ll look out for them, but not too hard 😉
Thanks for the info!!
