Tufted Titmouse

Tufted Titmouse, sp. name: “Baeolophus bicolor”

Description:

The Tufted Titmouse is a handsome bird with light gray body, white face, whitish breast and black eyes. Has a strong pointy bill used to crack open sunflower seeds.

Usually mixes with Carolina Chickadees.

Their habitat is the woodlands but are frequent visitors of feeders looking for sunflower seeds, their favorite food.

Good looking bird! 🙂

This was the first visit to my backyard! I hope to see him again.

Gallery #29 Birds are coming back!

I’m very happy to see my dear backyard visitors! As you’ll see in today’s gallery some birds species are showing up to get seeds from my feeders. I have made certain changes to the set up of bird houses and feeders. As well as added a deck on my yard. My wife and I are in the process of getting some plants and flowers for adorning a bit the area. We’re still undecided on the kind of deck furniture that we want. It will take a few more days and we’ll get them I’m sure. 🙂

We have a sunny and bright day today but still in the cold side. I see more birds at the feeders, even when I move them to another location while I work on my new project. I’m very excited with my plans and as soon as the weather warms up I’ll be getting started. I’ve been looking to some patio (deck) furniture, all are very expensive! But we definitely are buying some furniture for the Spring.

Meanwhile I have some photos for you:

Seems like the weather is improving, today is not so breezy nor cold as it has been days before. I see more birds coming to feed and they are voracious, the seeds disappear quickly :).

It makes me happy to see those birds having something to eat, I always think that people who are compassionate with animals, develop a better sense of what Nature is and begin to love it and care for it. Life, all what have been created on Earth is important and relevant, we should preserve it and respect their existence.

I bring you some more ‘visitors’
