Swede’s Photographs

Titmouse on a swing.

This tufted titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) is at a feeder shaped like a swing. The bird grabbed a whole peanut and flew away. I thought the peanuts were too big for the titmice ... guess not.

"The oldest known wild Tufted Titmouse was at least 13 years, 3 months old. It was banded in Virginia in 1962 and found in the same state in 1974." - allaboutbirs.org

In this photograph there is a wooden feeder shaped like a porch swing. The view of the swing is from one end with the back of the swing facing to the right. There is a tufted titmouse perched on the far chair arm of the swing. The bird faces the camera slightly turned to the left and its head looks to the left. The bird's beak is short and black. The top of its heat is gray with a small crest that stick backwards on the head. Its black eye is surrounded by the white feathers of its face. The front of its body is a rusty yellow Its tail is dark. Short gray legs lead to gray feet atop the armrest. "Tufted Titmice look large among the small birds that come to feeders, an impression that comes from their large head and eye, thick neck, and full bodies. The pointed crest and stout bill help identify titmice even in silhouette. Soft silvery gray above and white below, with a rusty or peach-colored wash down the flanks. A black patch just above the bill makes the bird look snub-nosed." - allaboutbirds.org
