[Ontbirds]Ruby-crowned Kinglet at Kingston

[Ken Kingdon]

On the afternoon of Sat., March 01, 2008 I had a wonderfully close look at a lone Ruby-crowned Kinglet, my earliest ever.  It was seen while snowshoeing deep into the Lost Lake Bog, located 2 km north of Amherstview, 5km west of Kingston.  

It was foraging very close to ground in a tangle of saplings.  The snow is 20-inches deep, so how it gets food is unclear.  

There were also 5 Common Ravens seen.  They are becoming common in the vicinity of this Bog.  :)

Best Pishes,

KINGSTON, ON
