very small olive green bird. The male has a characteristic gold stripe down its crown. Nervous flitting behavior makes photography difficult

Yes, the one with the red top!
Emma, this time of year, they are everywhere, but usually moving too fast to capture. Hence the poor quality photos
Is that the one with red top? The same thing happens to me when I try to take a picture, they always fly away when the focus are ready :P
I want to see kinglets!
Thank you. A couple weeks ago, I almost got a close upof a ruby with crest extended - through my mom's basement window. But it left the moment the camera turned on
Great pictures! You are so lucky Karen that got a picture of this bird.. We have the same bird here but i have never seen this one.
The Goldcrest are more common here but it's hard to get a picture of that bird...
