Golden-Crowned Kinglet
June 2, 2021
A nestling golden-crowned kinglet arrived in care from Sammamish last week. The young bird had a fractured tibiotarsus (bone in the leg). Our animal care team set the fracture with a splint to ensure proper healing, and the bone has almost fully healed. If you are not sure which one is the kinglet, look for the bird that appears especially ready for some food. All the nestmates are dark-eyed juncos.
