Little guy from a couple of weeks ago. May 2 Sony A7V at 300mm Presqu’il Park Ontario
Nice shot
Thanks
I love when they raise their crests. Adorable little bird.
I haven’t seen that… I looked through my older shots but found none.
Here’s one I took a few weeks ago, not the best photo.

Yes a horrible shot…detail, clarity, foreground clutter to distract the autofocus. Perseverance to get the shot
Great colours on the Mohawk. Looks territorial like my dog. He’s puffed up too.
Is it a breeding ritual.
IIRC this little guy was preening himself. Probably in search of a mate. There were quite a few of them, but now all we have are ruby-crowned kinglets, still adorable, but that golden-crown is best.
I haven’t seen any in a couple of weeks. They came in after the grackles (GrrAckKkLE)
Migration is starting now. All the cute ones are coming …plus the fodder.
