    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.

    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.
