All puffed out and looking a wee-bit sleepy a Golden Crowned Kinglet rests after a cold winters night just a month or so ago. Mainly a bird that resides in the tree-top and is always on the move it was nice to get a glimpse of them resting down low. I bet the cold winters morning slowed them down this day.
nature has no boss 
Tree-tops, huh. Well that would explain why this little fella remains unseen by me. Charming bird and high on my wish list.

Hi Mario, we were a bit surprised to see this little guy just hanging out like he was that morning. I am sure you will see these guys one day.

I saw a couple of these for the first time ever last weekend foraging in one of our maple trees. That red crown is almost iridescent, the way it flashed at certain times in the sunlight. I was excited to see them passing through on their way north.

HI Eliza, I bet it was nice to get a surprise like that red crown flashing in your maple trees. They seem to be such fiesta little birds. We had only see the Ruby Crowned Kinglet before so this guy as a nice treat for us. Hope you have a great Sunday.

Cold has a way of slowing things down even a little kinglet. 🙂

It looks so sleepy, I wonder how it doesn’t drop off the tree. I know I would in a similar situation!

Hi, yes that little Kinglet was a bit on the sleepy side that morning and trying to stay warm as well. It does always amaze me animals can take a small nap and still hang onto tree branches and make it look so easy as well.
