Very nice, hard to get these birds to sit still. Well done!

Great shots of this little feathered ping pong ball.....not the easiest birds to get still for very long.

Excellent captures of the little gem... not an easy quarry to photograph, they and the Golden-crown flit constantly... well done.

Nice set of shots considering they don't sit still very long. I like the last one, where you can see a bit of the crown. I see them in the tree's alot in the evening, but only ever seen one with the crown sticking up, that was about 2 or 3 years ago at the local park, they were jumping around in the poison oak vines near one of the nature trails calling back n forth to eachother, then one popped up to the top of the bushes and for a split second raised his crown then disapeared into the vines again.
