Day 289:Ruby-crowned Kinglet

Jared's mom, Susan, came to visit us this weekend for Jared's birthday! On Sunday, we decided to go to a nearby park, Blue Mash. It was a beautiful day, and we saw quite a few birds, snakes, and bugs.

There were Ruby-crowned Kinglets all over the place. Male birds have a red crown patch that is usually concealed, but you can see it in a few of these photos. In spite of their great numbers, it was difficult to get a good photo because these little birds were extremely active, flitting around the trees. I did manage to get a few by the end of our walk, though.

Blurry photo, but you can see the red patch
