One of the first Ruby-crowned Kinglets I ever saw was at Mead Garden and the crown was what gave it away for me since I had never seen one before. Out at Wekiva, we band a LOT of Kinglets. Most them are females so we don't get to see the crowns.
We even had one last winter that had only ONE ruby feather indicating it was a young male.
This morning we captured one of the most ruby of all the male Ruby-crowns I have ever seen.

Can't mistake that ID!
