Tufted Titmouse

Why does a chicken coop have two doors ?

Because if had four doors it would be a chicken sedan!

Interesting Fact: Unlike many chickadees, Tufted Titmouse pairs do not gather into larger flocks outside the breeding season. Instead, most remain on the territory as a pair. Frequently one of their young from that year remains with them, and occasionally other juveniles from other places will join them. Rarely a young titmouse remains with its parents into the breeding season and will help them raise the next year’s brood. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Tufted_Titmouse/lifehistory )

      Thank you very much for stopping by and checking out my work. Tufted Titmice live in deciduous woods or mixed evergreen-deciduous woods, typically in areas with a dense canopy and many tree species. They are also common in orchards, parks, and suburban areas. Generally found at low elevations, Tufted Titmice are rarely reported at elevations above 2,000 feet. Happy Blogging! 🙂

    Did not know that. I try to keep birdseed out for the birds, but the squirrels
    get a lot of it. Heard an awful scolding outside a few days ago; it was a titmouse asking where all the seeds were!
