Daily Postcard: A Ruby-crowned Kinglet perches on the branch of a pinion tree recently in the backyard of a home on Barranca Mesa. Kinglets are tiny songbirds with relatively large heads, almost no neck and thin tails. They have very small, thin, straight bills. 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. These are restless, acrobatic birds that move quickly through foliage, typically at lower and middle levels. They flick their wings almost constantly as they go. Source: allaboutbirds.org. Photo by Selvi Viswanathan
