    tufted titmouse

    one of my last photos that turned out to be one of my favorites.... not as difficult to catch as the nuthatch but i strongly feel this image is technically superior in terms of color and detail compared to my nuthatch. I also like this "tit's " attitude!

    Apparently my date wasn't sufficient for exif info!


    Looks like someone beat me to a pic of this little bird. I love how agile they are-- they can eat upside-down! Taken 19 Nov 2005-- 70-200 USM Canon lens, 4.0f-- full zoom-- since they're so skittish! And quite a personality.

    Regards--
