Kinglets are in at Milford Point

Fall migration is in full swing at Milford Point. One of the most abundant species currently flying around are Kinglets. I found both species, Ruby-crowned (Regulus calendula) and Golden-crowned Kinglet (Regulus satrapa), in good numbers on the site. The pictures below are from an early morning banding session with our volunteer banders at Milford Point. So come down to the Coastal Center and see these wonderful birds yourself.
