Ruby-crowned Kinglet posing on a tiny vertical branch with a very determined look. He is from profile and you can see his little red crown popping. Around fresh new leaves and branches.

are another challenge bird! Both the golden-crowned and the ruby! They flit and flutter, dart and leap in the branches. Eaters of mostly bugs, winter's the best time to spot them. Once the leaves are in they disappear. I think of kinglets as the tiniest unicorns of the underbrush. My goal is to photograph them with crisp focus, their crown exposed and brilliant as flowers... It's fun to have goals to look forward to.

@tomcassaro We had a pair entertain us from the hackberry trees during the long, cold days of the Texas power grid failure of 2021. Saw their golden cousins just this week #kinglets
