This thread about Golden-crowned Kinglets feeding down low is really
interesting. Last Saturday on Samish Island I noticed a group of
kinglets feeding in weeds along the road and I don't recall seen them
down so low before either. Are all these reports typical behavior that
we just happen to be noticing and reporting, or is there something
going on? Is their natural food source (which I would assume to be
tiny insects) more scarce? Maybe that November cold snap impacted
their source?
