Tufted Titmouse(s)....uh, Titmice....whatever!

They are around virtually everywhere in the Eastern US, active, alert, and a frequently a formidable challenge to photograph. I recently refered to them as "the Rodney Dangerfield" of song birds and I think that's a pretty apt title. Here's a few of the ones that hang around with me....

1.

I definately enjoyed those Steve, well taken and very clear.

Outstandingly understated little birds; well done, Steve.
Al

Beautiful shots!

Another excellent series Steve! Great clarity and crisp! These little buggers are just too fast for my slow finger.

Hey Steve they are fantastic. Yeah the Titmou...Titmic..Titme​eses are tough to get to sit still. Your images are spot on.

Excellent shots, Steve. It looks like it is a very tiny bird. Is that right? I love the way it looks or seems to look into the camera in quite a number of shots. Very inquisitive like. Lovely!

What a great collection of titmouse poses... he sure gave you some good looks and fine DOF... One and four would be my favorites Steve... excellent shooting.

Dave

Steve, very nice! Really enjoy those little guys. Finally have a couple visiting me, but they are just flit too fast!

I am impressed with the detail/sharp focus - great shots.....can't seem to get this good with my Canon 55-250....sigh!

Very nice series.

Not sure if we have those in the Western U.S.?

They can be tough Fee, but again I have them in numbers. Thanks for the generous compliments.

They are slightly larger and taller/longer than a Chickadee/Tit Levina, and they like to keep their eyes on me - . Thank you for your generous compliments.

I think they're pretty much limited to the Eastern US Terry; and plenty in my yard -
I appreciate your compliments very much.

These are beautiful portraits Steve. Nice and sharp.

Steve, what an enjoyable series! Titmouses are just adorable and you brought that out in your shots.

Why thank you Lillian. I liken them to little gray "Blue Jays", but they still "get no respect"
