Tufted Titmouse in a Thicketby *Ryser915

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Birds

Although I do photograph them quite a bit, I often neglect the common birds when posting photos online. This is a Tufted Titmouse, as I'm sure many of you with bird feeders in your yards already know. They have quite the personality, and will band together with other titmice and other species to vigorously attack roosting owls and raptors. It's hard to take a walk through the eastern deciduous forest without hearing and/or seeing dozens of these birds. The tufted Titmouse is a cavity nester, and due to the fact that they are unable to make their own holes in trees, they nest almost exclusively in abandoned woodpecker cavities (although they will nest in boxes as well). Titmice often line their nests with hair, often plucked right off of living animals!

Although not rare, they certainly are special! Lovely capture of this cute little fellow. He looks like he's only stopping a moment before heading off on his next mission.

Such spunky little birds. They often will fly and hover right in front of my face when I'm in the woods, as if asking me what on earth I'm up to.

Wow...beautiful pic and interesting facts! but looking into this sweet little birds eye, on the branch that looks broken...it looks like its trying to say "It wasnt me who broke the branch" all innocently...lol....So cute!!
