Ruby-Crowned Kinglet

Taking advantage of the full sun we were given on 2/5/2014, I set out on another birding excursion in the afternoon.  I had a couple of opportunities to photograph a Yellow-rumped warbler at the HQ tract on Fir Island, but for some reason those photos weren’t in focus.  However these photos of a Ruby-crowned kinglet, which I encountered on the way to FIr Island, were in focus.  And, I am happy to say, the ruby crown can plainly be seen in two of the photographs.  It’s difficult enough photographing this small bird that is constantly in motion, but capturing the ruby crown is a bonus!
