Another Tough Photo: Golden Crowned Kinglet


The Golden Crowned Kinglet is fairly common in the fall and the spring, and can be found pretty regularly in the winter around Connecticut. But since they are always darting from branch to branch, they are often difficult for me to photgraph.
Yesterday, at Cedar Lake in Chester, I spotted a couple of these kinglets working branches of Rhodedendrons, with faint chips as they worked.
I took a million photos with the hole of getting at least one. This isn't THE one, but it shows the bold yellow head stripe and the hint of yellow on the wings. I know, i know...it is the back. I'll keep trying.
