Golden crowned Kinglet

As more birds make their way to the mountains, more oppotunities come up to take pictures of them. Big or small, they are all fun to watch. With birds lot of patience is required, in the end it always pays off. You learn about the birds and most of the time you get few good pictures.

There were three of them, making their call as they slowly moved from tree to tree. I grabbed my camera and moved ahead of the Golden crowned Kinglets. Their quick moves make it difficulty to get them in focus. Having enough light gives me high shutter speed, improving my chances. I spend about fifteen minutes taking picture of the kinglets and was happy to get few images I liked, including the one posted.

Golden crowned Kinglet

Was walking along the Bow River when I heard the calling of a Golden crowned Kinglet. After a quick search I located  it going from a branch to branch among the group of five spruce trees. I stood  on the sunlit side, hoping the kinglet would make my way for a better focused picture. It would come near me but then quickly fly away before I was able to take the picture, but not leaving the area. This small bird, weighing just little more than a quarter, kept me entertained for a while. Never going to far, but also never giving enough time to get a clear picture. As time passed, more and more light covered the trees, starting to improve my chances. Patient was rewarded as everything started to come together and I started to get the pictures I waited for, soon after the kinglet moved on.

Until next moment,
