Lives, Habitats & Pictures of the Kinglets


Kinglets The kinglets are found throughout North America. There are two types, one being the Golden-crowned Kinglet and the other is the Ruby-crowned Kinglet. These small forest birds are heard more often than they are seen. One of the smallest bird types, each having a preference as to the type of forest they choose for their habitat.


The Ruby-crowned Kinglet can be found in deciduous forest mixed with conifers, whereas the Golden-crown Kinglet prefers the conifer forest. Each of these birds can be seen high up in the crowns and tops of the trees, almost always on the move. Much like the chickadees, they can be observed hanging upside down, searching for their food.
