a ruby in the garden...

a ruby crowned kinglet that is...
I can still see you...
What big eyes you have...
Making a splash...
The ruby crown shows up even more when wet...
Have I mentioned how much I love spring migration lately?

What a sweetie! Don't know that I've ever seen one, but maybe I just didn't know to look for his crown. Thanks for sharing

Treasure your Thursday! Marsha

Oh My Gosh! I so love this tiny little bird. You are so lucky he chooses to take a bath at your rock...gives you a little time to get a picture. He is a hard one to get ...as all those little flitty birds are! Great shots!
