Kinglet

A little ruby crowned kinglet bopped around in the bushes.  

 

War of the kinglets

The little golden crowned kinglet was peacefully snacking in a bush.

The ruby crowned kinglet was not happy with this, and flashed his ruby crown and chased after him.

 

Elusive

Little kinglets are very hard to photograph.  They flit so fast that you only get one shot.  This one seemed happy to hide from the camera.

 

Ruby crowned kinglet

This tiny little ruby crowned kinglet is about a month too early for North Carolina according to the Merlin Bird App.  Guess he doesn't have a cell phone.

Ruby crown

This Ruby crowned kinglet moved around in the trees so fast, that I mostly got pictures of bare branches where he had just been.

Just in case you don't believe me, this fuzzy picture shows his little ruby crown.
