R.E.Johnson 1967 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).
