I know I say I love every bird but I really do love that Tufted Titmouse! His cute little fish eyes - the little crest on top of his head - the weird "peter, peter, peter" song - what's there not to like?

I love them too! Great shots of "Peter"!
I think the adorable Tufted Titmouse is my favorite bird of all time! And, oh! What wonderful photos you have taken of this little bird! Great!
Sweet photos Shelley!
There are 6 Tufted Titmice that visit our feeders. Their northward expansion over the last several years assured that we have them here.
What wonderful pictures of a really neat bird. Being very rare this far west and north, I have been fortunate to have had a pair at my feeders for two years now.
I love them too and I especially love your first photo today. Have a wonderful day Shelley!
Such a cute bird. I love hearing all the little songs the birds sing. The Doves have been cooing on our back deck this morning :-)
The Titmouse is also one of my favorites...The little crest makes them look "punky"-chuckle!
I always feel like I can reach out and touch the birds in your photos...
Quick story. A Downy flew into our Palladian window last week (the sound makes my heart stop). Hubby went out on second story roof, found the poor Downy knocked out completely. It was cold, so Hubby held birdie and gently rubbed until it woke up and was able to fly away. Hubby rescues all critters, including me! :-))

So cute Shelley - I wish that I could hold him perched on my finger :)
Lovely shots! They can be so hard to get to hold still and pose. I adore them, too! Titmice and Chickadees will always be at the top of my bird love list.
Love your pictures! I have a tufted titmouse who frequents the bird feeder outside my classroom windown. If I have run out of food, he sits in the tree and hollers at me until I fill the feeder. I've had to stop teaching and go fill the feeder because he is so demanding.
Absolutely nothing...he is a real sweety and I love to hear their songs in the middle of all this weather..they just sit on a branch in the sun and call out..very nice!!
Wonderful shots of my little pal!! Love the seocnd one where you can really see all of its fabulous feathers.
This will be one of many birds for our life list. Something we should see at my Moms new place.
...a titmouse is my friend's favorite bird. I'm sending her over to your site. I love them too...that first shot is adorable!!!
You captured his top hat so well. And look at those feet.

What a cutie...
Shelly: I love this little bird, what a great singer.
I tried to be nice to the Michigan lover but they started it.
I can see why you would like this bird.He is so cute.
Blessings,Ruth
Adorable photos. They are among my favorites too. I think its those eyes and that 'tufted up' attitude.
Wouldn't he like a little Canadian vacation? I offer top-quality seed! :) I am dying to see a tufted titmouse.
This little bird is a mover and you were lucky to get such great shots!
They are adorable birds, one of those that's full of character. Great photos Shelley, my fav is the third one.
Sweet Titmouse Shelly,
They can be found in my area from time to time but we, in general, don't get them here and I have never had one at my place. :-( But I hope to hear them when I get down south. It's so funny, I was listening to them on my Peterson Multimedia Guide and it says "...Notes similar to those of chickadees, but more nasal, wheezy, and complaining." hahahahah how funny is that and more importantly, what do they have to complain about???!!!
I love the song, too. They're so sprightly!
They have captured my heart during my visits. FAB
I love the Tufted Titmice also, Shelley. They are such busy little birds. They'll fly in, grab a sunflower seed, and then find a place to 'beat' it open!!!! SO much fun to watch!!!!
Thanks for the great photos.
Hugs,
Betsy
It looks very loveable to me too.
I love how friendly mine are. They haven't eaten out of my hands yet but they will land on the feeders when I fill it.
Oh he's a cutie! I think my favorite bird is the one I'm looking at.
I remember when I lived in Virginia how thrilled I was to see cardinals and tufted titmice at the feeder. They seemed so exotic, and still do. Beautiful photos!
This is the first year I've had probably six or so coming together to the feeders. I think they were a brood raised last spring. :c)
I do love those little guys :-)
I too love the little guys and I have heard some 'peter..peter..peter..
Totally agree! They are really fun birds. That first picture you took is way cute. Nice work, Shelley...course, I'd come to your feeder too if you're putting out Zingerman's pecan cranberry bread!
What cheerful little birds, and great pix.
Aw...he is a very cute little guy. :D
cute cute cute!!
Beautiful bird.

Beautiful place to enjoy all your pics. I love them all. They are the best poems of nature. Congratulations, Shelley, thanks for sharing these beauties. Enita
