I saw this bird this morning. There was an orange-crowned warbler, Robin, and barred owl as well on the same tree. I wasn’t sure what it was, so put it through Merlin app, and it came out as hutton’s Vireo as top option. Ruby-crowned as number two. After reading, I found out the two birds are very similar looking. I am originally from Ontario and have seen many ruby-crowned kinglets. For whatever reason I didn’t see that as an option until I put it through Merlin. I did not get a recording of the sound. It is also the only picture I got. The bill being partially open makes it hard to tell the thickness of bill. Let me know what you guys think.
