Let's start a titmouse thread

I see a lot of these -- and they're such cute birds. I'll kick it off but if you have some (tufted, oak or otherwise), please feel free to post them.

I actually have five that come every morning for meal worms. If there is a line waiting, they often take a peanut from the bowl I put out for the bluejays.

Oh Dave. such a wonderful idea! I have nothing to contribute since they don't come here, but LOVE them.

Oh wait, I've got your poster!

All great photos Dave! That Titmouse poster is adorable!

Yes, I see it every day since I have a copy enlarged to 20x30" matted and framed hanging in our foyer. In case someone doesn't remember, Mrs Ed made that poster and did such a wonderful job too.

And another

Thanks Dave. I really wish I had a more wooded area so that I could enjoy these guys more often.

Sorry to hear about your cold.

Ha! Thanks! Turns out everyone at City Hall (my husband works for the city) is sick too. So… probably no avoiding it.

Here is one from today.

Titmouse are so cute!

Beautiful photos, Dave. The Tufted Titmouse is a real heart melter. I regularly go back and view your enchanting thread that Marna drew the poster from. Love the poster, Marna.

Thank you Margaret. I love them too. Usually they are so flighty it is hard to get good pictures but since mine were raised on meal worms afrom the time they were nestlings, they seem to remember the worms are here. And, since they are quite low on the pecking order, I get a lot of photo opportunities while they are waiting their turn to eat.

I'll contribute. Here's one from the Dec 10th

Hello Hack. Love that second one. Here's another one of mine.

Thanks, nice thread you thought of Dave. I've always thought that titmouse looked "sweet".

Yes, very dainty and clean.

Here's one from a month ago, at the top of the pear tree.

Nice ones guys!

Got a few more this morning. I'll start with this one.

One more.

Every photo is just so cute. I'm glad everyone enjoys the titmice.

We just have the Oak Titmouse here.

Another one.

Last one for today. These birds don't eat the berries on the trees, but they sit there until there's a free spot on the nearby feeder.

Nice shots everyone. I haven't taken any photos in my backyard for quite sometime. But, I do get a lot of Titmice. Here's a couple from earlier in the year.

Once I get some snow on the tree branches I'll probably spend a little time photographing my backyard birds. I need to develop some "props" similar to those that a few of you have been using.

One more .....

duc, what specie is the bush/tree with all of the red berries ? You get some great photos with that backdrop.

Hack , you get a lot of backyard birds, also. Nice pics.

And, Dave, always great photos.

Yep, linth, I'm blessed with a variety of birds.

I'm enjoying the great Titmice pix. Titmice look so sweet and dainty.

I got few more the other day. Here's one of them.

Nice thread Dave! Love that poster...I remember those photo's got quite a kick out of those. lol
Well I don't have any backyard Titmice...so I'll add a couple from the marsh.

and no.2

Nice ones, Burd. Love the first one with the berry in its mouth.

They say we can expect snow today but none so far. Here's one from last January to set the mood. Maybe I can update it if the weatherman guesses right.
