Between travel and bronchitis, I didn't spend much time in the park during fall migration season, but here's one visitor I did manage to see: a ruby-crowned kinglet. It's not a great picture but the only one I've ever managed to get, and you can just see the patch of red on top of his head that gives him his name.
Photos really don't do kinglets justice though as you can't tell how tiny, and therefore by definition, adorable, they are. (Maybe four inches from beak to tail, so if you laid three of them in a row you'd have one bluejay.) And I love those skinny little legs!
