Nice afternoon at Kinder Farm Park.  Highlights for me were Blackpoll Warbler and FOY Golden-Crowned Kinglets.  What started as a nice but normal birding trip got special to me at the end.  I can talk about this here because I know you understand!  Most people I know do not.  I ended my trip sitting on the ground under a small tree along the pathway.  All of the sudden a mixed flock of birds visited that particular tree.  Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned kinglets, yellow-rumps, blackpoll and palm warblers all seemed to be trying to get the closest to me.  I had  birds 12 inches from my head at times.  They were too close to shoot with the lens I had on my camera.  I just sat there in amazement and took it all in.  I cannot get over how tiny yet detailed they are.  It made my year.  I am sure you have "been there" before!
