<\/p>\n

To say Cape May last weekend was crawling with Kinglets would not quite be accurate, but Kinglets were certainly conspicuous in the bushes\u2026well\u2026in the bushes everywhere<\/em> on the Cape. Yellow-rumped Warblers had them outnumbered, but maybe not by much! It is always a treat to have Kinglets at eye-level and below, where they fall easily under the lens of the camera. I have already published one set of images (Kinglets<\/a>) taken using the 2x digital converter on the Canon SX40HS for truly intimate views. This is another sequence, taken at the unassisted 840mm full optical zoom setting, which shows the birds more in context of their feeding. <\/p>\n

Each of these shots was selected from a burst of 4 or 5 taken when I had the bird in the frame and focused. I have almost as many Kinglet shots on my hard drive as there were Kinglets in Cape May last weekend\u2026but they are all of only 4 different birds \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
