I saw large numbers of ruby-crowned and also golden-crowned kinglets at the Mentor Lagoon trail this morning around 9 am. They were in the shrubs along the main trail, and after I stopped and crouched I had both species (as well as chickadees and titmouse) popping on to branches quite close to me. I estimated some 30 birds that I watched for 15 minutes or so, then I walked about 10 minutes and found a larger group (maybe 50?). Also saw one winter wren, a pileated, and a lot of robins!
