Observation details

Obvious gold crown, but weird sighting, likely a molting bird, ratty looking. Lone individual singing constantly. Thought I might be a hybrid at first because I had never heard the chickadee-like ring at the end of the golden crowns song and was surprised by how similar it is..nor had I ever seen a kinglet just sitting on a branch singing. Seen right by a house wren nest in spruce forest, (41.3904246, -70.5925149).
