I get quite a few of them at the feeder, not as many as the more aggressive Black-capped Chickadees, but a good number so I think they must be breeding in the green space.

I was really fortunate as my camera does not have the greatest zoom (480x max) and this kinglet was right out in the sun in front of me. I missed it flashing its ruby crown which is was doing when I spotted it. I have passed numerous golden-crowned kinglet since Jan 01 and they have always been too active to photograph, so filming was definitely a pipe dream.
