Ruby-crowned Kinglet and White Spruce. 18″ x 24″. Acrylic on Pine. 2018.

Ruby-crowned Kinglets are very small songbirds. You can often find them during their migration season flitting around on branches hunting down small insects. On one walk through the northern section of the University of Guelph Arboretum, I saw this one flying around the boughs of this massive White Spruce.
