If they DO sit still for a second or two, they usually have their back to you, or have their head buried in the pine boughs. They are interesting to observe though. The flock works one tree at a time, usually pine, (here anyway) and the tree will be alive with the movement of these tiny little birds (smallest by weight of our North American birds). Most of the time I can spot a Golden-crowned Kinglet or two with the flock, and they're fairly easy to ID, even from a distance. They move about in a different manner than the Bushtit, working the trunk area of the tree. The Bushtit prefers the outer branches. |
