Golden-crowned Kinglet Male
The picture of this Golden-crowned Kinglet was taken at the Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn. Green-wood Cemetery is one of my favorite places to photograph birds. Needless to say it is very quiet and peaceful. I am always surprised at what birds show up. I like to explore around Sylvan Waters which is where I found this very hundgry Golden-crowned Kinglet today.
