Tufted Titmouse
Tufted Titmouse
Tufted titmice nest in a hole in a tree, either a natural cavity, a human-made nest box, or sometimes an old woodpecker nest. They line the nest with soft materials, sometimes plucking hair from a live animal such as a dog. If they find snake skin sheddings, they may incorporate pieces into their nest. Eggs measure under 1 inch (2.5 centimetres) long and are white or cream-colored with brownish or purplish spots.

Sweet pictures!
Thank you so much, Susan. 🙂
Cool info on the Carolina Chickadee’s assistance in helping other migrants find food. That’s amazing!
Thank you very much, Donna. 🙂
Immagini meravigliose…
Buona settimana,silvia
Sei così gentile e dolce. Grazie mille. 🙂
They both seem so dainty but I am sure they are perfectly adapted to their niche. Beautiful photographs as always, H.J.
Oh yes! They are both “regulars” in my backyard. Thanks, D. 🙂
The Carolina chickadee is lovely. It’s head also looks blue, whereas I think ours up here are black. They are sweet little birdies, whatever their colour!
It is actually black, the sky reflection makes it look bluish. Thank you, Cynthia. 🙂
Not sure why — when I write ‘its’ it becomes ‘it’s’ — but if you don’t mind, I don’t mind!
