Kinglets are our smallest birds, apart from hummingbirds. Golden-crowned Kinglets average about 3.5 inches in length which makes them slightly smaller than Ruby-crowned Kinglets.
We had several today at Thomson Park.

NATURE POETRY
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run. – John Keats
Miles Hearn
