A rare treat for Florida birders, this Golden-crowned Kinglet only weighs about two pennies. Despite being one of the smallest songbirds, it’s got a big, brash attitude and a fierce crown to match. This one was photographed at the Blue Run of Dunnellon Park along the Rainbow River. (Photo: MichaelWarren.com)
