Determination Pays Off- Golden-crowned Kinglet

Marlton, NJ

I was trying to get shots of the Kinglets all day. In an elm tree just past my back fence there are at least a dozen Kinglets, some are Ruby-crowned along with the Golden-crowned. It looks like the tree and surrounding tree's are swarming with mexican jumping beans.
These shots aren't perfect but there not bad considering how super fast these little guys are and I was so happy to get them after a full morning of blurred pics. 6 Photos

Thank you very much! I saw a few around yesterday morning but then it became very overcast so I couldn't take any photos. Hopefully I'll get another chance at them. The Yellow-rumped Warblers are still around too.
