While I absolutely love

to have the Titmice back, them, Blue Jays and Mourning Doves continue to be the only birds visiting here currently. I do hear woodpeckers but they will not come down. There are mature Oaks as well as nut trees, Cedars and the like in the neighborhood, so I think many feast there while a huge group is still on the move too. This is a welcome break for my bird seed budget but I also really miss seeing birds. The critters are filling up as usual.

Two more birds as thanks for Waymaker donators! Left, a swooping male American Redstart in his bold black and orange, for @ziggetyzigzag on bsky/twitter; right, an alert little Black-capped Chickadee in cool winter lighting for Meredith S Walker.

Thanks again to all who are participating in Waymaker and doing our part to help unaccompanied immigrant children!

BOTD: Black-crested Titmouse

Photo: Aaron Maizlish

"A characteristic bird of much of southern and central Texas, barely extending northward into southwestern Oklahoma. This is a close relative of the Tufted Titmouse of eastern North America, and was treated as a subspecies at one time. Where the ranges of the two species meet in east-central Texas, they sometimes interbreed, producing hybrids that may show a dark gray crest and a reddish brown forehead."

- Audubon Field Guide

Animal of the Day!

Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor)

(Photo by Darlene Friedman)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Eastern United States

Size (Weight/Length)- 21 g; 17 cm

Diet- Insects; Seeds; Berries

Cool Facts- Tufted titmice, sometimes called tufties, are tiny songbirds with big vocal range. Forming small groups called banditires, tufted titmice will sit in branches above berry bushes. When the coast is clear from larger birds, they will descend into the bush, grab a berry, and fly back into the tree before eating. Despite their skittish nature, these tiny birds will happily take down a hornet’s nest in exchange for a few juicy larvae. When constructing their nests, female tufted titmice will use animal fur and snake skins to make it as soft as possible. Chicks stay with their mother throughout their first year of life, sometimes helping to rear the next generation.

Rating- 12/10 (Can easily tough out the snowiest weather.)

Tufted Titmouse couple.

This species of bird are monogamous and mate for life.

Says the photographer:

The color differences leave me a bit baffled...boy or girl, or parent and juvenile? Either way, it seemed to me that the one on the left was offering some seeds to the other, something i've seen male cardinals do as well.

Bird activity

has picked up a bit, and the Juncos are definitely here but today, temps were like spring again, so generally, things are still very slow. I did get some lovely portraits in the sunshine yesterday and the leaves are finally starting to turn here too. If you are watching my livestreams, please note that the ones not active right now will be back soon, there have been some technical issues.
