2nd Bird of The Week

This is the 2nd Bird of the Week post so far. This week's bird is the Ruby-Crowned Kinglet!

Ruby-Crowned Kinglets are some of the smallest songbirds in the United States, even smaller than warblers. They are olive with gray bellies and large eye rings. Males have a red crown on their head, which gave the bird its name. They are also able to raise the crown when they are agitated or aggressive. Ruby-Crowned Kinglets forage in the trees, but sometimes are also seen in the undergrowth and on the ground.Their song is usually  a "tsee tsee tsee" followed by some twittering and chipping.
Ruby-Crowned Kinglets can be found across North America. They breed mostly in Canada and the Rockies, and winter in the southern U.S, Mid-Atlantic, and along the Pacific Coast. In New York City, Ruby-Crowned Kinglets are usually found from early April to mid-May and from mid-September through November. Ruby-Crowned Kinglets are often not hard to find in Central Park, and are quite tame. Often you may be able to walk right up to them without them flinching.

In case you were wondering, next week's bird will unfortunately not be Halloween-themed, due to lack of Baltimore Orioles. I think it might get a spot another time.
