Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Corthylio calendula) - Glenhurst Meadows, Warren Green Acres, Warren, New Jersey
Originally this image was the second in a series,
but since so many people liked this particular shot in the series,
I've reposted it so they can have a closer look.

One of the smallest birds in North America, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet is best identified by its continual wing-flicking, yellow feathers at the ends of its wings and tail and, if you're lucky, a showing of its red crown, which can be seen when the brown top feathers are lifted. Today, I was delighted to catch sight of several of these remarkable juvenile birds. They were just as intrigued by me as I was by them.

Recrop of an earlier shot of mine. It was way too hot to be outside with camera today.
This tiny bird only weighs about half an ounce. Only the male has a red (ruby) crown--so this is a female.

A tiny bird seemingly overflowing with energy, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet foraged almost frantically through lower branches of shrubs and trees along the Courtenay River estuary. So hard to spot and even harder to catch a shot. This tiny bird is smaller than a chickadee or warbler and is a constant and frantic mover. It is the movement that caught Terry's eye and I owe thanks to him and a quick focus.

"Ruby-crowned Kinglets are olive-green birds with a prominent white eyering and white wingbar. This wingbar contrasts with an adjacent blackish bar in the wing. The “ruby crown” of the male is only occasionally visible." Cornell
I'm not a building inspector, but I believe this place might not be up to code.
I think this was the doctor's house, Dr. Julius H Woodard. (There are practically no informational signs in Ruby; I'm going by the rudimentary map provided by the caretaker.) He and his wife lived here from 1930-1940, and moved to Tucson as Ruby was being abandoned. A nearby building was used as a hospital, and Dr. Woodard also made housecalls.
