Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Male) - Regulus calendula Isn&#039;t he so cute?!<br /> <br /> I admit that I know very little about birds, but this is another bird that was new to me...never even heard of it before. I saw several other interesting birds today, but didn&#039;t get shots of most of them...I predict that I will pay closer attention to birds in the future.<br /> <br /> Habitat: Meadow/forest edge<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/113571/ruby-crowned_kinglet_male_-_regulus_calendula.html" title="Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Male) - Regulus calendula"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/113571_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=g1CQKdoLs8VzEqOEhaDT7laK7As%3D" width="200" height="152" alt="Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Male) - Regulus calendula Isn&#039;t he so cute?!<br /> <br /> I admit that I know very little about birds, but this is another bird that was new to me...never even heard of it before.

      Yes! At first, I thought it was a female goldfinch and the red spot was part of the tree, hehe. I need to work on my birding skills. Posted 4 years ago
