Bushtit

It wasn't a real active day during lunch on Thursday at TRNWR, but I did get these nice close shots of a Bushtit in a tree just before the river lookout platform. In addition to this Bushtit, there were also a handful of Golden-crowned Kinglets in the next tree.
This is one of those times when I have to make a difficult decision. Do I take the close shot opportunity I have of a bird for which I already have good images or do I pass it up for a possible closeup shot of a bird for which I do not have good images. Typically I take the shot I have and in this case I am pleased with my decision.
I love the added colors of Autumn in the background. They contrast nicely with the gray color of the Bushtit.
