Submitted by Carol A. Clark on December 1, 2024

When agitated, these birds can flare their crowns to reveal fiery red feathers hidden beneath this golden stripe. Golden-Crowned Kinglets are found in Los Alamos all year long. Listen for these birds’ high-pitched twittering as they forage in flocks, often high in evergreens. Local wildlife photographer Jonathan Dowell, Ph.D. took this photo. See more of his Read More
