Least Flycatcher and Kinglet

So the Least Flycatcher is also a new bird for me which is very cool. I initially thought this was an Eastern Phoebe by the way it flew, but as soon as it landed I knew it was something else. I was lucky enough to get this shot.

Well after last weeks attempts to get a shot of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, I was really happy to get this shot. I'm pretty sure that these birds never actually stop moving.

The Yellow-rumped Warblers were most abundant around the water, I'm guessing this was due to the larger supply of bugs. I watched them spend time swooping towards the surface of the water and then back up the cat tails. It was a behavior I've witnessed earlier this year up at Carlos Avery, but I'd never seen it prior to that.

This Kinglet landed only about 3 feet from me and then continued to jump from branch to branch staying in each spot for only about 1 second. I could not get a decent shot of this bird. I had the feeling it was just taunting me. Here's the only shot I got that was even close to in focus. I think this bird was giving me the bird.
