Another Tufted Titmouse....
Here's another photo I took on Tuesday, I have two titmice that visit my feeder. They are extremely shy compared to the chickadees and nuthatches but I got lucky when this one landed on the end of the broken branch within photo range. I'm hoping the two are a male and female and they'll end up nesting in the backyard, I'll have to put up more nest boxes to get them to do so.

I love the the Titmouse and your capture is exquisite!
We have six visiting our feeders and had at least 2 breeding pair last year. They brough their young to the feeders, the little ones flapping their wings and squawking for food when the adults were eating.
Great shot! I hope they stay! Titmice are so cute and usually not too shy when they get used to a place. They do flit about so much that I have trouble getting photos as nice as this one :-) About the time I focus, they move.
My books are hot off the presses at Blurb! Take a sneak peek and place your order if you're so inclined by clicking on the cover photo above. An eBook version for download to your iPad or iPhone is now available in the iTunes store.
I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

A beautiful little bird John.

Great shot, indeed. Do the chickadees bully the titmice?
Such sweet little birds John.
Very lucky indeed. These little guys are afraid of their own shadow. I hope they do nest in you yard. They do make good neighbors.
