They say you usually do not see the crown unless this bird is agitated. It was a very windy day and the crown feathers are only partially visible and not standing up, so I do not think it was agitated.

This bird does not linger on branches. It moves from branch to branch and tree to tree like it is hyperactive.

Sometimes windy days can be good days for taking a photograph. Have a great Wednesday!
So nice that you captured the ruby crown. Often it remains hidden.

Twice I have found it in the same bush. I stood there for an hour and saw other birds come by. Towards the end of standing in that location it appeared. This was where a stream emptied into the river. The stream was in the woods. Upstream was private lands that bordered the park. I suspect it came from the private lands.
