Tufted Titmouse

Tufted Titmouse

The lifespan of the Tufted Titmouse is approximately 2.1 years, although it can live for more than ten years. On average, these birds will have a clutch size of five to seven eggs. Unlike many birds, the offspring of tufted titmice will often stay with their parents during the winter, and even after the first year of their life. Sometimes, a bird born the year before will help its parents raise the next year’s young.

Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher

The Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) is a very small songbird, 10–13 cm (3.9–5.1 in) in length, 6.3 in (16 cm) in wingspan, and weighing only 5–7 g (0.18–0.25 oz). Adult males are blue-gray on the upperparts with white underparts, have a slender dark bill, and a long black tail edged in white. Females are less blue, while juveniles are greenish-gray. Both sexes have a white eye ring.

I enjoyed both the tufted titmouse and blue-gray gnatcatcher photos today, HJ. They both have a similar posture, a lovable look of curious pondering. Wonderful post, my friend.
