About this episode

This episode explores the unique characteristics and behaviors of the Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned Kinglets, two fascinating bird species in Canada.

Overlooked and underappreciated - kinglets are one of Canada’s toughest little birds! Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned Kinglets are both fascinating and unique in their own ways. One stays with us all winter long, which is impressive for a bird smaller than a chickadee. And the other lays up to 12 eggs in a stretchy nest! Join us for an exploration of both species: identification tips, bird songs, and fun facts. We're always keen to hear from you! Email the podcast with your episode idea...
