tufted titmouse

I tore myself away from the camera for a few hours today to go fishing, and afterwards I discovered that I still had a lot of crickets left in the bait tube I had bought. I put the cricket tube on the railing beside my bird feeders with the escape hole opened, and before long the bugs were bugging out. This titmouse landed on one of the branches over my railing and looked totally amazed at this phenomenon... he sat there for much longer than this species normally stays in one place, although he never dropped down to grab a bug. It gave me a chance to get these shots before he flew off.

Good detail and color well done

Seeing the bugs must have been a jaw dropper for him.

Nice shots. I haven't seen one now for weeks.

Love the expression in #2 !!

Very good shots indeed.

Very nice close ups, wow, I thought he might jump out from my monitor at me!

I would have settled for him jumping on one of the bugs I was providing!

Those are nice shots!

Tough to shoot this bird and you did very well with great details to boot. Very good job Bob.
