I found this small bird at a wildlife refuge near Olympia. I’m unable to find any close match in any of my guides. Would really appreciate an ID. It’s warbler like in size.

I don’t know what kind of little bird this is, but he is a cutie. Great shot of him, David. I like the pose he is giving you.
Looks like a Golden Crowned Kinglet (Sibley’s guide).
Golden-crowned Kinglet, David. Looks like it’s in full breeding plumage already. An absolutely gorgeous shot and a very hard bird to get, Congratulations.
Great look at this one. Nice pose, detail, and background. Lucky to catch a glimpse of the crown.
No nits from me. A tough bird to get indeed…Jim
Lovely little fellow! Nice to have it completely in the open, here they then to be very active in leafy surroundings. Love it ! Cheers, Hans
