I hate to be dumb bird guy, but why are they called ruby crowned when they are mostly yellow?

And I'll hang up and listen.

Aah, good question! This is a female in the photo. The male has a small red patch on the top of it's head. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks for your call.

Female birds are invariably drab in comparison to their male counterparts. Fortunately the same cannot be said of humans.
