Like Royalty 3I3651

The Golden-crowned Kinglet is a tiny songbird that usually inhabits the tops of coniferous trees, well out of reach, making it difficult to see them. They are insectivores, so seeing them at your feeders is an unlikely occurrence. That being said, I saw one on my feeders just a week ago. During the winter, they are a little less selective about habitat, and I was pleasantly surprised to find them scouring the edges of cedar waterways of the New Jersey pinelands. Had it not been for their high-pitched calls, I would never have seen them through the thicket at ground level. Soon they will return to their northern breeding grounds where, like royalty, they will stay high above the masses.
