“kinglet”的意思、由来-百科全书

kinglet

bird

any of six species of small songbirds (songbird) of the family Sylviidae. Although among the smallest of songbirds (weighing less than 10 grams 【0.4 ounce】), they are able to survive cold climates and remain exceedingly active by flitting constantly about and flicking their wings open and closed. These round-bodied, short-billed little birds (bird) are usually found in coniferous woodlands (coniferous forest). They make a high-hanging nest of moss bound with cobwebs that is so small that the 5–10 eggs (egg) within may lie in two layers. Kinglets are about 9 cm (3.5 inches) long, with greenish gray body plumage and bright crown marks.

The golden-crowned kinglet (Regulus satrapa) of North America is often considered the same species as the goldcrest (R. regulus) of Eurasia; both have the crown patch—red in males, yellow in females—strikingly bordered with black. The firecrest (R. ignicapillus) of Europe resembles the goldcrest but has a white eyeline, and the flamecrest, or yellow-rumped kinglet (R. goodfellowi), of Taiwan is sometimes considered a subspecies of the firecrest. In the ruby-crowned kinglet (R. calendula) of North America, the crown mark is a mere tick of red, appearing on the male only and usually concealed.
