Golden-crowned Kinglets at Feeders

This Golden-crowned Kinglet has been faithfully visiting my feeder daily, here in Williamsburg, for nearly a month...it's a species I haven't seen at my feeders and I've had feeders for decades. It's proudly showing its flashy namesake feature...there's no hint of the orange tones of an adult male. They are so tiny and usually forage for insects so high, it's nice to get this view. It has been eating suet and a peanut butter/cornmeal mix during the recent very cold and snowy weather. I would be interested to know if others have been hosting this species at feeders...if so, please contact me at Taberzz@aol.com.
