This is Ruby. One of the pair I have been following for some time now. Ruby is a bit cautious around this time, probably pregnant.

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.
Ruby-crowned Kinglets seem nervous as they flit through the foliage, flicking their wings nearly constantly. Keeping an eye out for this habit can be a useful aid to identifying kinglets.
Metabolic studies on Ruby-crowned Kinglets suggest that these tiny birds use only about 10 calories (technically, kilocalories) per day.
The oldest known Ruby-crowned Kinglet was a female, and at least 8 years, 8 months old, when she was recaptured and rereleased during banding operations in Texas in 2017. She was banded in the same state in 2008.

Spent a fun day at Bill's Backyard Bird Blind sitting in a comfy chair, 15 feet from a flower bed yesterday. Saw three of these little guys. This one looks like a juvenile male. A fill flash was used.
Somewhere in PA.
Dappled light on a landscape, or chiaroscuro to the early artists, catches the eye and adds complexity to a landscape.
It had rained much of the previous night, and the clouds were lifting, allowing sunshine to light the various colors of aspen foliage. Dappled light on a patchwork of colors.

Ruby crowned kinglet. A twitchy little bird to be sure, so I'm always impressed when I can get a half way decent shot of one. It was kind of dark but I really liked the symmetry of its perch.
Ruby-crowned Kinglets right now in this area are plentiful and singing their energetic, upbeat song. It's always great to see them with their crest showing.
