Yesterday morning, I had a very good look at what I was pretty sure was a Golden-Crowned Kinglet. It seemed early, though, so I started second-guessing myself. This morning, I was putting it up to one of those mystery birds that never get identified.
With a little bit of research help from my dad, Bob Anderson (Hi dad!), I did find that for the past few years, there have been Kinglets reported on January 1. This Kinglet was very cooperative, flitting around a shrub on Hurd Rd., at eye height for a good thirty seconds or so. I was able to see the yellow on the top of the head before it flew off. I guess I'd better stop second-guessing myself!
