PEEPERS AND CREEPERS THE GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET "We have been looking at some of the larger song birds; now try the sharpness of your eyes by finding a tiny little fellow--a veritable midget, who belongs to the guild of Tree Trappers.

He is usually intent upon his work, continually hopping and peeping among little branches and twigs, and thinks it would be time wasted if he stayed still long enough to give you a chance to look at him.

He is so small that there are very few North American birds to compare with him in littleness.

The Hummingbird, is smaller still, and the Winter Wren measures no more, only he is chunkier.

But what of that?
This Kinglet is as hardy and vigorous as the biggest Hawk or Owl.
