This is my first decent shot of a ruby-crowned kinglet. I took it at Kathryn Albertson Park in Boise, Idaho. I got a couple other shots of this guy, with his ruby crown showing but they're not as sharp. You can't see the crown in this shot, though. These tiny birds flit almost frantically from branch to branch making capturing them a real challenge for me.
"Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field..." Genesis 2:19-20a (NIV)
