    This Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Regulus calendula) has discovered the 
delights of my hummingbird feeder.  While the kinglet and the resident 
hummingbirds have occasional discussions about possession of said source of 
sugary syrup, for the most part they leave each other alone.  This kinglet 
visits the feeder every few minutes allowing me the opportunity for a few 
photographs.
    
    I had initially set the camera up on a tripod a few meters away and 
covered the camera and myself with camo-print netting, which the kinglet 
pretty much ignored.  I eventually left the netting on only the 
camera/tripod, exposing my camo-print hat and eyes.  This photograph was the 
kinglet's initial response to the altered scenery:
