Rose Hip and Kinglet – GICLEE CANVAS – AP – 11/40

10″ x 20″

“Formerly breeding almost exclusively in the remote, boreal spruce-fir (Picea-Abies) forests of North America, the diminutive Golden-crowned Kinglet has been expanding its breeding range southward at lower elevations into spruce plantings in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio and into white pine-hemlock (Pinus strobus-Tsuga) forests in eastern Tennessee, northeastern Georgia, and the western Carolinas. Nesting high in conifers, it lays its large clutch (5–11 eggs) in a cup-shaped nest built by both parents. Most pairs produce 2 broods a year, despite the short
breeding season at northern latitudes.”
