Ruby-Crowned Kinglet (Regulus calendula)

I could swear that this little guy was deliberately messing with me. He stayed in one spot for probably a full minute, but was too close for me to focus my spotting scope to take a photo. When he finally moved away, he was doing his typical flitting from branch to branch, every 2 seconds. Managed to get one "acceptable" photo out of 100. LoL
