Here are a few small birds to enjoy.

Check out the Ruby-crowned Kinglet. It was a cold morning. It had itself puffed-up to insulate against the cold. Doing so included flashing his red crown. I’ve been trying for several years to get a picture with the crown showing; it’s a rare shot to get. Being all puffed-up, he looks like he escaped from the Angry Birds game.
