Ruby-crowned Kinglet
128
March 3 Tilden Regional Park, Alameda Co., California
Partly cloudy, windy, cool. 11:30 AM. One (or more?)
in large (30 ft) Coast Live Oak (one of several in
cluster along creek bottom). Moves from small
(1/2 inch ?) limb to another searching & pecking.
Also moves into leaves sometimes. Not sure
if breeze tends to drive him into interior of tree
or if he uses these interior (1-5 ft below crown)
branches regularly. Later a brief, incomplete
song heard (1st song of season noted on Feb. 23-
see Journal).
