Let's start a titmouse thread

I'm looking forward to seeing your shares cindy.

Here's a Titmouse I snapped today.

And one of mine from this morning in the snow.

that's a great shot Cous!!

Thanks. The light was barely enough.

I am looking for another.

these birds are just soooo cute!!! They do live here in Texas but this is the first time I've seen one in my area... & I haven't seen him in a few days..though it has been freezing temps the last few days so maybe "he's" keeping warm somewhere!! I hope he comes back to my feeder though!!

It did not take this little cutie very long to discover there was a chunk bitten out of the top of the feeder and when the feeder is filled, he doesn't have to wait in line.

As you may have noticed, I shoot bluebirds most of the time. They nest in my yard and have for many years. I feed them meal worms so they stay here year 'round. The titmice nest in the woods nearby and several years ago began coming to the deck for meal worms when they had babies in the nest. Those babies have grown and fledged and some are still coming for meal worms, especially when the weather is so raw. They are used to me and not so skittish as titmice usually are, but still they are shy and they wait until the other birds are finished. This gives me lots of time to shoot them as they wait.

Cute shot GG. I think we posted at the same time.

Yep! Thanks Dave. Just love your pictures. They are all spectacular.

I presume you are getting snow

Same bird as above. A little better pose.

Lovely!

Love that pose. Looks king of the hill. No, they got snow all around us, but the Central Susquehanna Valley lucked out. Bitterly cold and windy here, but no snow.

I have quite a few around here.

Hack

I don't have that many. Maybe about six, but they come to the feeder every day and often. I probably have several thousand pictures of them, in several different hard drives.

One more, then I need to look for something to start a new daily pics thread.

Maybe there's time for this one more.

That's a cute one with the beak open!

Here's a couple Texas Titmouse (taken in Tx that is). This is the Black-crested Titmouse

Wonderful shots Met! Those Black-crested Titmouse are very cute!

Methodical - I like that Texas Titmouse - the Black-crested Titmouse - what a different look from the Tufted T.

Here's one of my Tufted Titmice.

Wonderful shots everyone!! Met, that Texas titmouse is beautiful!!

Awww..they are such cute & pretty birds!! hahaha
Unfortunately I haven't seen ANY birds at my feeders in awhile.. it's been warming up here lately so they are probably finding lots of bugs!! There is another cold freeze due this weekend so perhaps my feeders will be emptied then!!

I got another one.

Hack

That's a lovely one Hack!!

I had 3 come into the yard after calling them. Wonderful little birds.

Here birdie, birdie, birdie.

Hi Hack, No recording. It's sort of like calling a cat but slower and heavier sound. Psh.. psh.. psh ..psh

Good one, Mrs_Ed. Already tried that, didn't work. :-)

Hack

I guess it's my turn. From this morning.

Another shot. Same bird.

I got more than 150 of him but I will only bore you with one more.

Great job Dave!

One of my better captures.

Hack

Beautiful, Dave, Al & Hack. Al, it's so good to see you back and posting.

Gee, they're all beautiful Dave, Al and Hack! I'm sure enjoying these little birds!

My Oak titmice look so plain compared to your little ones.

Well their very cute duc and thats a great shot!
