Surprised to find this little Ruby-crowned Kinglet at the end of Pier 3 in Brooklyn Bridge Park. 😃

Ruby-crowned Kinglet - (Corthylio calendula)

Chadron State Park - Fall 2023

THE Smallest Bird! Absolutely Tiny! Ruby-crowned Kinglets are the smallest birds I have ever banded in my life (as I've not banded a hummingbird... yet)! The majority of songbirds moving through the station weigh in between 10-15g. Kinglets, on average, weigh 6g. That's the same as a US quarter. Can you believe that??

Even more wild is that kinglet don't seem to mind the winter weather the same as other songbirds, and will overwinter further north than you would expect such a little guy to do! They stay as active as possible to keep warm, picking what tiny bugs they can find.

The "ruby-crown" in question is absent from this bird, as she was a young female, but even if she had a full crest it wouldn't be evident in a picture like this. The male's crown is able to be hidden beneath their head feathers, only to be flaired during mating displays or territory disputes.

All banding, marking, and sampling is being conducted under a federally authorized Bird Banding Permit issued by the U.S. Geological Survey's BBL. Permission to share images was granted by Bird Conservancy of the Rockies (BCR).

#bird banding #ruby crowned kinglet #their four-letter code is RCKI #which sounds like 'Ricky' #so that's what I call them when I see them. I mean that's what most birders call them its not just me #but I love that they get a nickname
