Ruby-Crowned Kinglet

Following up on my prior post on Yellow-rumped warblers at the Malheur NWR in Oregon, I encountered Ruby-crowned kinglets at the same location and feeding among the warblers. 

These birds are often quite friendly around humans... I've had them almost land on me on several occasions.  The birds are named for a ruby crown that they generally display only when upset.  I estimate that I see the ruby crown in only about one out of 10-15 sightings, and it's even more difficult to get a photo of the crown.  I captured the ruby crown in the last photo of this post.
