Ruby-crowned Kinglet

Lake Frederick, Virginia

This long-legged speedstir has been visiting our backyard feeders since before Christmas. Comes in for very quick visits several times a day. Course getting a lens on him through our back windows is a real challenge!

Good find, still too early for us.

Very challenging bird to get to sit still for a portrait, but you nailed it!

Exellent capture against a beautiful background. V

You did well. An odd little bird with stick legs and big black eyes.

Ha! What a great catch. Look at those stick legs!
