EDITORS COMMENTS
Golden-crowned Kinglet (Regulus satrapa): A Chromolithograph of this Miniature Bird's Vibrant Plumage and Nesting Habits The Golden-crowned Kinglet, Regulus satrapa, is a diminutive bird species native to North America. This exquisite chromolithograph, created by Edwin Sheppard and published in Thomas George Gentry's Nests and Eggs of the Birds of the United States in 1881, showcases the striking features of this tiny bird. The male Golden-crowned Kinglet is depicted in the image, with its golden crown, black and white striped back, and distinctive black and white plumage. The female, with her olive-green back and grayish-brown stripes, is subtly different but equally beautiful. The pair can be seen perched on a branch, with the female tending to her eggs in the nest below. The nest, built by the female, is a small, open cup made of moss, lichen, and other soft materials. It is often located in conifer trees, sometimes even in the fork of a branch near the trunk. The female lays 5-7 eggs, which are oval and pale blue or greenish-white in color. Both parents incubate the eggs for about 13 days and care for their young. The Golden-crowned Kinglet is a member of the kinglet, warbler, and honeyeater family, and is closely related to the Ruby-crowned Kinglet and the Razorbill, a type of auk. The Razorbill, Alca torda, is a marine bird with a black back and white underparts, and a distinctive, sharp, black bill. Despite their different appearances and habitats, these birds share a common ancestry and intriguing adaptations. This chromolithograph, with its intricate details and vivid colors, offers a glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating birds and their nesting habits, providing a window into the world of ornithology over a century ago.
