This page is for the Warbling White-eye (Zosterops japonicus). This little bird flits around tree branches much like a Ruby-crowned Kinglet; it barely stops long enough to take a photograph, so good photographs are fairly difficult to get. However, when you do get one, they are very cute little birds.
