The photo is not a Ruby-crowned Kinglet but instead its a Orange-crowned Warbler. Nice photo.

You may be correct Mike and if so I stand corrected. There's a lot of similarities bewteen them including their phyical size and also foraging habits.

Dang Hoagie,

Why don't you just shatter their hopes and dreams while you're at it?

Might as well call out their Mamas too.

Raider4ever, your post is confusing to me, are you joking around or are you disappointed that Mike H. is helping to make an accurate identification of the bird?

ShawnZ,

Ya got me, yes I am dissapointed Mike is going out of his way to do what he does better than anyone I know, ID birds. Either that or....Mike and I go back to elem. school. We played against each other in high school. We were roomates at MN-Crookston, we were best men at each other's weddings. We are both from the same 'hood and I just found out he is registered on this site so I was just giving him a shout-out by "doggin' him". The game has gone on between us since time began.

Stu, I agree with Mike on the ID, not that he needs backup from me. He is the pro on bird ID.

That final image in the first series in particular is excellent, with the live protein ready to be swallowed, and the taut pose in the image you added later is excellent. Nice light as well. gringrin

If you saw a kinglet next to an orange-crowned warbler, you'd defininitely notice a size difference, with the kinglet being smaller. I also seem to recall the r-c kinglet has an eye ring that appears more broad than the o-c warbler.
