In the quiet of the woods the bubbling song of the Ruby-crowned Kinglet erupted, and the high trill of the Brown Creeper signaled its presence. The hormonal drive to breed had birds singing regardless of the weather.
The Golden-crowned Kinglet is a tiny bird of conifer forests that has a yellow, black, and white head pattern. It spends most of its time in the upper reaches of pine, spruce, and cedar trees.
