Ruby-crowned Kinglet

Regulus calendula

Description:

Sorry for the poor quality, but it was very far away. Tufted titmice, downy woodpeckers, and black-capped chickadees were also around the swamp at this time

Habitat:

Forested swamp in a suburban area

Awesome! And always glad to help! Luckily he has part of his crown showing (it doesn't always show), and what really helps is seeing the wing pattern. There is a thick white bar, a solid black patch, then really close together yellow streaks. They are pretty distinctive once you get familiar with their look!

Thanks Ashley! I didn't think I'd get an ID, and this one is new to me too!
