“Goldilocks”

Going back into the fall, I had been standing still for a while, watching the little birds forage out in front of me, when a little Golden-crowned Kinglet popped out of the brush.

It kept coming closer and closer, without seeing me.  Such a special treat!  And what beautiful, flowing golden-crown feathers.  In some shots, there’s a hint of orange-red that usually only shines when they get excited.

I had to give this cutie a special post to shine those lovely goldilocks!
