Golden-crowned Kinglet (Regulus satrapa)

Golden-crowned Kinglets were generally uncommon across Worcester Co. this year, but those we found on the island were primarily feeding in the Seaside Goldenrod in the dunes. There was a bathhouse that was lined on both sides with goldenrod, and if you spooked them from one side, they would fly through a grate and through the crawlspace under the raised building to the other side.
