Yellow-rumped Warblers and Ruby-crowned Kinglets at the Little Miami Bike Trail

...let's jump back to last Thursday when my mom, Ena and I went birding at the Little Miami Bike Trail. In addition to finding the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher's nest, we saw lots of birds. Especially cute were the Yellow-rumped Warblers, Golden-crowned Kinglets and Ruby-crowned Kinglets.

One of the Yellow-rumps. I heard his call 
first, then we spotted him. He was very active!

I love it when they narrow right in on the 
sound of the camera click and look you 
in the eye through the camera lens.

...and then he looks a little harder, 
focusing on me while I focus on him.

...and a cute little sideway glance, like he's 
trying to figure out what that clicky sound is.

This little Ruby-crowned Kinglet was foraging with a couple of little Yellow-crowned Kinglets.

Okay camera lady, here's my profile for easy ID of my field marks!
