Kinglets

Sherry Felix13 Comments

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.

Ovenbird and Thrasher

It is a challenge to photograph in shade with a big lens. I managed to pull something out of these images. The ovenbird is a composite.

Flycatcher

This was a surprise — a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher near the Humming Tombstone by Tupelo Meadow, in the Central Park Ramble yesterday. Hope I got the ID correct.
