Ruby-crowned Kinglet

-

Like feathered pingpong balls with toothpick legs, ruby-crowned kinglets bounce and flit about, flicking their wings in near constant motion. Kinglets are most visible in winter along the coasts and throughout the southern states, but migrants show up anywhere. Despite their bug-filled diet, they occasional­ly nibble on suet cakes. Bold white eye-rings give these little nuggets personalit­y. Red crown feathers are usually tucked away among the gray plumage.
