Are you sure that wasn't a golden-crowned kinglet instead of a ruby-crowned?? I thought I saw a white band by the eye, and the golden crown has a red/orange "top knot" with a gold border which it raises when it is excited.

?Nothing in the books shows the golden border to the ruby crown. ?Maybe it's a state of agitation that one doesn't normally see??
