Excellent!<br /><br />All of your photos are amazing as always. I'm sure some folks don't know how difficult it is to get decent Kinglet photos since they don't sit still long enough and, as you mention, they have a penchant for hiding behind tangles of branches. That second shot of the male is priceless!Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072345959644694466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-74679586831950802692012-01-12T15:51:46.947-05:002012-01-12T15:51:46.947-05:00HI Kelly...So precious and with that dazzling litt...HI Kelly...So precious and with that dazzling little head dress..very tiny indeed!<br />Very nice<br />Gracegrammie ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00839269423384232974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-74655025808562612532012-01-12T15:38:41.606-05:002012-01-12T15:38:41.606-05:00And you did them well Kelly.
