Mystery Bird Eating Oceanspray

Explore, Jan. 1/08.

Once again I need helping identifying a bird. I've looked all through my Audubon book and can't find this little one. There was a group of them hanging out in the evergreens, but this one preferred eating the dried blossoms of our oceanspray (also called ironwood). This picture could've been sharper, but I like the colors in it. Not to mention the cute little bird that I've never seen before (or since).

Update: It's a Golden-Crowned Kinglet!
