[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a common bird species during spring and fall migration in N America but one of the most difficult to photograph. It never stops and never get out in the clear for a good picture.

Ruby-crowned Kinglet Regulus calendula

Kinglets are tiny songbirds with relatively large heads, almost no neck, and thin tails. They have very small, thin, straight bills.

These are restless, acrobatic birds that move quickly through foliage, typically at lower and middle levels. They flick their wings almost constantly as they go.

Charming bird, and well taken: blurred background, sharp and a nice eye highlight. A credit to your exceptional gear but more to the point to the photographer. Well done!

amazing bird and a great closeup, TFS Ori

Hello Mario,
Fantastic!

Peter

Hello Mario,
Peter says it is fantastic and he is a real expert bird photographer. The only reason I do not differ from him is that I do not have a better adjective. What a fabulous image! Very well done indeed.

Mario,
What a beautiful bird.
Lovely presentation.
Great focusing job; even the "dew drop" on the bough shows!!!
Your canon 500mm plus the 1.4 converter did a great job; but it was "YOUR" patience to focus it that paid off.
I don't use my 1.4 converter 'cause I don't have the patience to focus; I like the automatic focus. No work. EASY!!!
Greetings from Mario in Canada.
