My fountain continues to attract all kinds of birds. I haven’t seen a Ruby-crowned Kinglet here in years so I was glad to see him while I was waiting for the hummers to go to the feeders. These birds are as small as the Anna’s hummingbird. While I watched him preening in the shrubs after his bath, I could have easily mistaken him for a hummer. He was wary of me, seated so close and each time I triggered the shutter release he would jump to the shrubs. And, no, I didn’t lift my finger off the trigger startling him. It was the flash that made him jump. 😊 I’d trigger the shutter twice and the first shot had a bird and the second shot did not have a bird. But, each time he would immediately return to the fountain so we did it all again.
