10-Month Kinglet Pursuit

Back in April 2020, when we started noticing birds in our yard during the first weeks of quarantine, I saw a photo of a Kinglet and then my inexperienced birding eyes thought all the smallest birds in our yard were Kinglets. David, Alison, and Dad corrected each of my sightings. They were all Orange Crowned Warblers, Wrens, Bushtits, and Lesser Goldfinches. I’ve remained in pursuit of my Kinglet and was treated with my first in Harmon Canyon last week!

My first Kinglet! 🤍

And there was so much more to see in the canyon!
