Been dreary down here in NC, but the birds seem to love it

A tiny Ruby-crowned Kinglet. I love these birds, just too bad I either only see females or they choose to never show me their crown. :(

THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

There were a bunch of Yellow-rumped Warblers (or at least I think that's what they are, feel free to correct me) picking seeds off a tree. Being such a cloudy, drizzly day I couldn't get any great shots. Everything was slow shutter, high ISO. But there are a few that are "Reddit worthy," where some are known to be easily impressed. :)

And finally, this Mockingbird flew right up close to me, almost at the limit of my 400mm f/5.6's focus. S/he barely even fit in the frame. Almost as if the bird wanted some glamour shots, and as you can see, they are very sassy birds:

You sure got some beautiful shots there. The colourful leaves in the background add a lot, but your shots are nice and crisp to start with. Love the Mockingbirds :)
