The Golden-crowned Kinglet, Regulus satrapa, is a delightful little bird. It is mostly olive-gray in colour with white underparts, a small bill and short tail. There is a dark stripe through the eyes and a beautiful bright-yellow crown that is surrounded by black. In the male, there is an orange patch in the middle of the yellow crown. |

The Golden-crowned Kinglet is found throughout North America, except northern Canada. Some breed in the coniferous forests of Canada and migrate to warmer parts of the continent for the winter. In some regions, it is a permanent resident. |
