newbirder: Ruby-crowned kinglet in the fall foliage on Duke’s…
Ruby-crowned kinglet in the fall foliage on Duke’s campus. After I saw the kinglets up close last week at the bird banding demonstration, I was desperate to see one on my own. Luckily my chance came when I happened to be taking some fall foliage photos. Amidst the red and gold leaves was a very active kinglet, hopping from branch to branch as fast as I could focus my camera. My photos aren’t perfect, but there is something extra beautiful about seeing a life bird in such a beautiful autumn tree!
We have a pair of these in our backyard during most Puppy Patrol visits. They’re really fun to watch.
And these photos are gorgeous.
