The Ruby-crowned Kinglet

The Ruby-crowned Kinglet is next to the hummingbird, this is the smallest bird found in Florida. It is constantly on the move. Whenever it calls, it jerks its wings almost faster than can be seen. The ruby crown is seldom noticed, except in the spring when the male may display it to attract a female or to threaten another male. Like the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, it has a white eye-ring. It lives in the southeast and southwest part of the country. It is a member of the thrush family. posted by birds rock.
