Ruby-crowned kinglet

No crown was visible on this bird. Merlin says that only males display the crown, and they are prominently on display only if the bird is agitated. So, either this is a female, or it was in a relaxed state. Merlin also describes the bird as hyperactive. Very accurate description indeed - it was a challenge to get even a couple of shots in focus. Happy to be able to shoot any birds at all past mid-November!

Lake Betz, RTP, NC, yesterday morning.
