Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Regulus calendula 
Cariboo Region, British Columbia, Canada

Hi everyone, 

I was pleased to come away with a couple nice frames of this common but somewhat tricky species during a recent trip into central British Columbia. The loud, jumbled song of these tiny little guys ring out from seemingly every stand of spruce trees. While easy to find, they're in a constant state of movement. 

Best of luck!

Really nice image of the elusive one and that raised crest puts it over the top

A very difficult bird to capture at all, and you have done it so perfectly Jess. Congrats!
