I was at a lake hidden in the treeline,  looking for water fowl.  As I stood there, a mixed flock of small birds overtook my position.  It was January and the flock included dark eyed juncos, golden crowned kinglets, and a brown creeper.  I switched gears and started photographing tiny birds up close instead of water fowl at a greater distance across a lake.  They stayed around me for a couple of minutes.  This is an example of taking opportunities and knowing your camera settings well enough that you can change them quickly.  Golden crowned kinglet, Taylor County, WV, January 2022
