Golden-Crowned Kinglet

Every time I’ve seen a kinglet they’ve been really mobile and very high up in the trees. The autofocus struggled with the small target and the amount of branches and my manual focus skills weren't up to the task when I also had to keep re-aiming and changing zoom. A real test of my skills… that I’ve failed. Twice.

I was able to catch one Kinglet up in Acadia, though the photo lacks the identifying features! The final image is a kinglet foraging. It’s got something squishy in its beak, though I’m not quite sure what!
