This was the first time I was able to get close enough to one of these guys for a decent shot. They're tiny!

This shot was pure luck. It was sitting on a chimney while I was taking some shots when it suddenly took off. I barely got it in frame -- the top of this cropped shot is the top of the original frame.

This was actually taken through the window of the second storey of my house. The trees are quite close to the house and this little guy was hopping around from branch to branch, singing his heart out.
