Mike's point re food source is weel taken. I have observed the same behavior
of GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS at least three times within the last couple of
weeks. It always involved three or four birds, once even foraging among the
storm debris in my yard. They are always extremely tame and unafraid of
humans. On one occasion, I also observed a RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET close by. It
stayed in the brush.

Cheers,
