Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor)
Tumblr media
"i wasn’t going to submit this in case I knocked them out but it would only be fair and I love them too much" "small birb. cute lil orangy bit. the crest. It delight."
Tufted Titmice are a staple at many an Eastern USA feeder, in my experience. They've always been the second species to visit feeders I set up, coming in for sunflower seed, peanuts, and suet. Granted, the chances of attracting a titmouse are always higher if you live near proper woodlands or a tree-filled park.
Tufted Titmice belong to the tit family, a word which originally means "small". This family is incredibly vocal and often semi-social, with the young of the year often remaining with their parents in a loose family group until the next breeding cycle begins. This is typically seen as a safety measure, as tits of all kinds will sound the alarm if any danger is noticed- they're quick to chime into another bird's alarm call too, if they overhear a fuss.
Titmice nest in cavities in trees, so leaving up older snags is always appreciated (so long as they aren't a safety concern). Having a diet in insects and fruit, these little birds are great to have around as seed-dispersers, as well as pest management. And they're so damn cute, it's hard not to be happy to see a pair at the feeder.

Been out walking for most of the day, so I did a Blue Tit since little birbs are a lot quicker to draw (something I learned from yesterday after spending roughly 4 hours on a mallard)
