Ruby-crowned Kinglet

Ruby-crowned Kinglets are tiny songbirds with relatively large heads, almost no neck, and thin tails. They have very small, thin, straight bills.

They are olive-green birds with a prominent white eyeing and white wingbar. The wingbar contrasts with an adjacent blackish bar in the wing. The 'ruby crown' of the male is only occasionally visible.

These are restless, acrobatic birds that move quickly through foliage, typically at lower and middle levels. They flick their wings almost constantly as they go.
