[va-bird] ruby crownded kinglet

(I've been trying to post this all week, but for some reason my posts weren't 
going through, sorry this is late, but I figured I'd still post it, despite 
being upstaged by folks having kinglets sit on their hands!)  :)

For some horrible reason, I have all but given up birding for the past two or 
so weeks.  I suppose a combination of the cold and the rain have made me want 
to stay indoors more than usual. 

But, Sunday around 3pm, I strolled out to the back deck to see if I could 
spot any birds.  My eye was draw almost immediately to a tiny bird up in a 
tree - backlit of course.  Thinking "Well, darn it, that's smaller than a 
chickadee!" I ran and got my binoculars. 

Within seconds it had flow into a tree within 15 feet of the deck and I got 
great looks at what I id'ed as a ruby crownded kinglet! 

It may not be too exciting, but it's only the first or second time I've caught 
sight of them in the backyard!
