Description
Catching this little titmouse just lifting off from a very snowy bush after a nasty blizzard passed through and finally the sun shining again!
This rather tame, active, crested little bird is common all year in eastern forests, where its whistled peter-peter-peter song may be heard even during mid-winter thaws. It is related to the chickadees, and like them it readily comes to bird feeders, often carrying away sunflower seeds one at a time. Feeders may be helping it to expand its range: in recent decades, Tufted Titmice have been steadily pushing north.
NOTE: The watermark in the lower right corner of the image will not appear on the final print.
