Another short trip to Luhr Park produced a first of the year bird for me today. As I was almost done with my trip, I was walking out along a hedgerow when I saw a small shadow go over me. I looked up and saw a Ruby Crowned Kinglet feeding directly above me. I got to watch him for a few minutes before he took off out of sight. When they get agitated or are protecting their young, they have a distinct ruby red patch flare up on the tops of their heads. If you look good at the last picture, you can faintly see the red patch!
