Friday Creature

Someone recently suggested I might post something other than a bird for a change of pace, which reminded me that I call this feature "friday creature" to be inclusive -- I've just been posting a lot of birds lately because I've been having so much fun with it. So, I'm going to post one more bird and then I'll stir things up a bit next week with a mammal or reptile or space alien or something.
This is the tiny kinglet. Some of them were hanging around my yard at the end of the year, but I haven't seen a single one so far in 2005. I imagine they've moved further south to avoid our brief Tennessee winter (which seems poised, finally, to arrive -- it looks as though we might get some seasonably cold weather in the coming week).

Have a good weekend, and don't forget to check out the other creatures at the Friday Ark!
