Ruby-crowned Kinglet
What is the difference between a school teacher and a train?
The teacher says spit your gum out and the train says “chew chew chew”.
Interesting Fact: 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. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Ruby-crowned_Kinglet/lifehistory )
I’ve never seen the Ruby-crowned Kinglet here in South Carolina. What areas do they usually frequent. That’s a good hint to look for a bird that is constantly flicking its wings. thanks, jan
I think you have a bigger chance to spot them in the winter in your area. They fly up north for the summer. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Blogging! 🙂
Gosh…been following you for months. A tag shows Bayonne. #bhsgrad here. I know I have told you before how much I love your page, small world!!! I did nominate you for the Unique Blogger Award if you are up for the questions. Keep on, my friend.

This photo is even more impressive now that I know the kinglet in near-constant motion!
Yeah I had to watch him for a while before I snapped this photo. Thank you very much for stopping by and checking out my work. Happy Blogging! 🙂
