Ruby-crowned Kinglet Male
The picture of this male Ruby-crowned Kinglet on a branch was taken in the New York Botanical Gardens near the Twin Lakes area.
One of North America’s smallest birds, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet can be recognized by its constant wing-flicking. The male shows its red crown only infrequently. The length of the Ruby-crowned Kinglet is 3.5 to 4.5 inches and is constant motion making it quite the challenge to photograph.
