What was that?

For two days now, I've seen some sort of small fast UFO in the backyard. Could it be a hummingbird? Kinda doubt it. Maybe a large dragonfly.

We have seen a ruby-crowned kinglet coming into the birdbath lately. Also one sighting of a golden-crowned kinglet. The sightings are so dependent on how long a person is willing to sit at the kitchen window and watch. As much as we like being outdoors on the back deck or back porch, we just don't see as many birds when we're sitting out there, the birds are just too intimidated by the large objects near their bathing area.

This morning, a sizable population in front, a more moderate gathering in back.

Enjoyed the photo and sighting of a Chinese Pond Heron seen out in western Alaska. Amazing what shows up out there.
