Ruby-crowned kinglet

Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, April 30, 2021.

 

 

A fast moving little bird, that doesn't sit still to get good photos but I got lucky.

 

 

Regulus calendula

The Ruby-crowned Kinglet is a tiny bird that lays a very large clutch of eggs—there can be up to 12 in a single nest. Although the eggs themselves weigh only about a fiftieth of an ounce, an entire clutch can weigh as much as the female herself.
