Field Notes

Description:

At Paradise Pond in Port Aransas this evening, this Ruby-crowned Kinglet had his ruby crown showing well as he was defending his tree from a Yellow-rumped Warbler. I botched the photo of him looking right at me, so you'll have to enjoy this one instead!

Habitat:

Trees around small pond

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
