A female Bushtit (Psaltriparus minimus) patrols the abundant flowers of a cherry tree at an urban park in Vancouver, BC. These active birds rarely pause, and energetically explore trees and shrubs for tasty insect treats.

Thats a nice little bird similar to the european longtailed tit – no doubt they are equally hard to capture!
Thanks, Jon. Indeed, these little “forest sprites” are often difficult to capture. They rarely stay still. Though I have caught individuals napping on occasion.
