I love when they raise their crests. Adorable little bird.

I haven't seen that... I looked through my older shots but found none.

Here's one I took a few weeks ago, not the best photo.

Yes a horrible shot...detail, clarity, foreground clutter to distract the autofocus. Perseverance to get the shot
Great colours on the Mohawk. Looks territorial like my dog. He's puffed up too.
Is it a breeding ritual.

IIRC this little guy was preening himself. Probably in search of a mate. There were quite a few of them, but now all we have are ruby-crowned kinglets, still adorable, but that golden-crown is best.
