The gold and ruby crowned kinglets were out in force. Most of our viewing was like this.
Cornell's Merlin describes the ruby kinglet as: look like they've had one too many shots of caffeine. Look for a tiny bird flitting around nervously flicking its wings.
Can confirm. They are super hard to get a photo of.

The kinglets eat small flying insects, and they do impressive acrobatics chasing them down, which make them super hard to get a photo of. This kinglet taking advantage of eating insects out of cob webs, made it a little easier to get a photo of.
