A perching bird not actually perched...

[wfooshee]

This little guy (pine warbler?) was deep in the shade, and I kept losing him as he flitted about in the trees and bushes. He finally sat here about 5 seconds, long enough to frame and shoot, and when I got the pics onto the PC, I found that I'd caught him mid-hop and not actually perched. I just thought it was kind of cool enough to share.

Another accident, a week later than that one: Yellow-rumped Warbler hopping around some currently leafless buttonbush. I got a couple of nice shots of the bird, and then this accident as he took off while I was pressing the shutter:

I really like the second one. This has it all motion, detail, expression

keep this up we're going to have to call it experience.

think your first bird is a Ruby-crowned Kinglet
