Identification - This very active olive green bird is smaller than a sparrow. It has an incomplete white eye ring , short, slightly forked tail, two white wing bars, and golden edges to its dark wings. The tiny ruby crown of the male is seldom seen. It often flicks its wings.
Morsels - This kinglet feeds predominantly upon insects and spiders which it finds among leaves and needles often at the tips of branches in bushes and trees. Sometimes it feeds on the forest floor. Other insect prey includes a variety of wasps, butterflies, moths, caterpillars, and flies. It also drinks sap from sapsucker wells in birch and willow trees and eats some fruit, particularly elderberries. In winter, it is hard to spot this bird because it is mainly a loner unlike its close relative, the Golden-crowned Kinglet, that occurs in flocks.
