If you've followed my posts over the summer you know I have hummingbirds on the brain so when a small bird flew straight into the bushes behind the feeder I just figured it was a hummer but it started hopping around and I finally got a very brief view. I'm pretty sure it was a golden crowned kinglet. Is this a bit early? I've seen them in both nearby parks (Bestview and German Mills) but never in my back yard so I guess it's a first.

Definitely kinglets back this morning, also goldfinches, chickadees (long time no see!!), sparrows, a downy woodpecker too close to photograph and still at least two hummingbirds, one of which is a young male (not too close to photograph!) :) Too bad about the lousy light but I guess you can't have everything.
