Ruby-crowned Kinglet

[Ryan Schain]

This bird was part of a mixed flock of migrant passerines and per usual with kinglets, wasn't very shy, but was very fast.

Tough little birds to capture - they're so flighty. This one has a great HA, and beautiful BG with a touch of seasonal color.

Sweet portrait of this kinglet. Gorgeous background. Wish we could see a bit more of the tail, but I would still be happy to have this.

A nice frame of a bird that never seems to sit still. I like the fall foliage BG, but I might try a slightly tighter crop than the one you presented.

Excellent image Ryan. I like the pose perch, sharpness, exposure and BG. I chased these guys around today but didn't get an image this clean.

[Robert Holguin]

Very nice shot.
I really like the pose, great perch, nice details, great background, and great comp.
Well done.

Cute little bugger. Beautiful BG, good thin perch. I'm OK with it's size in the frame but I would have placed it either lower (my preferred choice) or higher in the frame. Nice and sharp.
