Golden-crowned Kinglets

Rocky's recent post of the same species had me digging through my archives to see what shots I had of them. Here are perhaps the two best that I have, both in September, the first from 2017 and the second from 2016.

Nice ones, Al... the second one sure looks miffed at something!

Beautiful takes.

Thank you, Rog, my friend. If there were a few more birds around this winter, you'd see more from me, but it is most bleak.

Thank you; I appreciate your commenting.

Excellent! Your use of higher ISO encourages me to try the same approach.

Thank you. I appreciate your taking the photos time to comment. I see by your gear that you have a 7D. When I shot with one, ISO 800 was about my cut line. The Mark II version is somewhat more forgiving. You’ll notice my shutter speeds were fairly low as was the aperture on the second shot. So, it’s all a trade off in low light conditions. Good luck!

really great shots Al- they sure are cute little guys

Thank you, Bob; cute and fast!
