	Kinglet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The kinglets or crests are a small group of birds often included in the Old World warblers, but frequently given family status because they also resemble the titmice.
		In North America the Ruby-crowned Kinglet is more likely to be seen because it occupies the lower tree branches as opposed to the Golden-crowned Kinglet which usually stays higher up in the tree.
		The Golden-crowned kinglet and the Ruby-crowned kinglet are the two species of Kinglets which are present in North America.

	Ruby-crowned Kinglet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Regulus calendula) is a very small songbird.
		Adults are olive-grey on the upperparts with light underparts, with a thin fl bill and a short tail.
		The recent counting indicates that the Ruby-crowned kinglet population is on the rise.

		Kinglets are small birds (4 in./10 cm) with soft, fluffy, olive or grayish green plumage and bright crown patches.
		In the same order as the kinglets are the gnatwrens of Central and South America and the gnatcatchers, both of the family Polioptilidae, found from the N United States to Argentina.
		Kinglets are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Passeriformes, family Sylviidae.

	Birds, Familiar: Golden-crowned Kinglet, Life Histories of North American Birds, A.C. Bent
		The kinglet feeds largely on bark beetles, scale insects, and the eggs of injurious moths and plant lice, which it obtains from the trunks, branches, and twigs of trees and bushes, mainly the coniferous trees.
		The golden-crowned kinglet has been observed apparently drinking the sap that flows from the fresh drillings of sap-sucking woodpeckers, but it may be that the birds are after the insects that are also attracted to such places.
		Her notes record the kinglets in song, occasionally as early as March 15, regularly from the middle of April, on through the breeding season, once as late as August 26, and occasionally in fall, September 26 and October 12.

		Kinglets are tiny tree-dwelling birds of the Sylviidae family (Old World warbler).
		The golden-crowned kinglet has yellow, red, and fl stripes on the head and a white eyebrow stripe.
		The ruby-crowned kinglet has a patch of red on the head instead of stripes and its belly is brownish.

	Golden-crowned Kinglet
		The Ruby-crowned Kinglet and the Golden-crowned Kinglet are the only two species that occur in North America, and they are common in all but the coldest regions of North America.
		There is much to learn about the Kinglets, especially how, despite their small size, they survive and thrive in cold northern climates where days are short, nights are long, and temperatures may dip to -30° F. Side by side, the two species of North American Kinglets are easy to distinguish.
		Kinglets have 10 primary flight feathers, but the 10th primary flight feather, shown at the top of this photo, is reduced.

	Enjoying the ruby-crowned kinglet's extended visit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		During the warmer months, the ruby-crowned kinglet patrols the upper stories of coniferous forest, and it's particularly fond of spruces, in which it usually builds its hanging, deep-cupped nest.
		Their even smaller cousin, the golden-crowned kinglet, is famous for braving the winters of the far north (and without the energy-saving benefit of torpor, a lowering of the body temperature during sleep), so the ruby-crowned is probably not escaping the cold so much as following the southerly drift of available food.
		Kinglets often join mixed-species insect-eating flocks, or bird guilds, during the winter.

		In the eastern part of the range, the highest population densities occur in the fl spruce bogs and muskegs of Canada, whereas in the West, spruce-fir, lodgepole pine, and Douglas fir forests are used.
		Kinglets primarily eat seeds and the small insects and insect eggs they glean from vegetation.

		Kinglets in general may be confused with fall warblers and vireos.
		However kinglets are smaller birds (less than 4 inches in length from the tip of the bill to the tip of the tail) and have the habit of flicking their wings, something vireos and warblers do not generally do.
		Habitat: During the breeding season the Ruby-crowned Kinglet is found in the coniferous forest of the Northern Boreal Forest and Western Montane Forest.

	I.D. vireo-kinglet
		And the last photo of the kinglet is misleading to the extent it seems that the outer tail feather is whitish; it is just slightly disarranged and backlit, showing translucence.
		On a good color monitor you might note, however, that the eyering of the kinglet is white but that of the vireo is washed with pale yellow.
		The oft-heard, soft rattle of the kinglet is a dominant sound in wintering mixed flocks; it has been described as a scolding "je-dit, je-dit," or "chiditdit" or a machine-gun "ah-a-a-a-a-a-a," but it is not the least bit whinny.

		The Ruby-crowned Kinglet, as well as the Golden-crowned Kinglet prefer northern coniferous forests but will frequent gardens and yards.
		The kinglets turn, hop and flick their wings continually as they search for insects and larvae among the leaves of pines and crevices of branches.
		The song of the Ruby-crowned Kinglet is loud and opens with a high-pitched tee tee tee and then drops to a low tew tew tew and ends with a repeated ti-da-dee or li-ber-ty.

	Ruby-crowned Kinglet
		Ruby-crowned Kinglet populations can fluctuate widely, declining in response to logging activities or fire, but severe winter weather appears to have the greatest affect on numbers.
		Winter food sources are primarily spiders and insects and their eggs, as well as small amounts of weed seeds and fruits, including the berries of wax myrtle, poison ivy, and red cedar.
		Ruby-crowned Kinglet song and calls were recorded by Robert C. Stein and Randolph Scott Little and can be found on the Peterson Field Guide to Eastern/Central Bird Songs.

	Golden-crowned Kinglet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The Golden-crowned Kinglet is olive-green to gray above, pale breast, whitish eyebrow, fl bill, short tail, two wing bars that are whitish, and a bright orange (solid yellow in female) crown patch bordered with yellow and fl (fl border in female).
		The Golden-crowned Kinglet is named from the Latin word rex and Greek word satrapes meaning a king wearing a golden crown.
		These birds generally associate in groups, and feed in company with the titmice, nuthatches, and Brown Creepers, perambulating the tops of trees and bushes, sometimes in the very depth of the forests or the most dismal swamps, while at other times they approach the plantations, and enter the gardens and yards.

	California Partners in Flight Coniferous Bird Conservation Plan for the Golden-crowned Kinglet
		Flicking of the tail is considered to be a communicative mechanism among kinglets, and establishment of the territory is maintained by vigorous singing on the part of the male.
		The pair bond is maintained by such behaviors as the male bringing food to the female and the female announcing her readiness to copulate by flattening herself out on a twig or nest and fluttering her wings while twittering (Ingold and Galati 1997).
		A study in West Virginia concluded that Golden-crowned Kinglets invaded spruce forests when the trees reached heights of 33-49 feet; in Minnesota, this species was found nesting in stands dominated by fl spruce that was 56-66 feet in height (Ingold and Galati 1997).

		This species is the type of a small group which has been generally placed among the Sylviidae or true warblers, but by certain systematists it is referred to the titmouse family, Paridae.
		That the kinglets possess many of the habits and actions of the latter is undeniable, but on the other hand they are not known to differ in any important points of organization or appearance from the formerthe chief distinction being that the nostril is covered by a single bristly feather directed forwards.
		North America has two well-known species, R. satrapa, very like the European R. ignicapillus, and the ruby-crowned wren, R. calendula, which is remarkable for a loud song that has been compared to that of a canary-bird or a skylark, and for having the characteristic nasal feather in a rudimentary or aborted condition.

		Although Golden-crowned Kinglets seldom sing except on the breeding grounds, a Ruby-crowned occasionally blurts forth with his "liberty, liberty, liberty" in spring and fall migration.
		Kinglets have been called "butterfly birds" because they flutter about in trees and shrubs, flicking their wings and hovering at the tips of branches where they use sharp, fl bills to glean insects and spiders and their eggs.
		In winter the two kinglet species forage in mixed flocks in deciduous woodlots, but they also frequent Piedmont pine plantations and other habitats.
