When I first saw
a Tufted Titmouse, I was instantly infatuated. These birds are utterly adorable, not just in their Disney-ish looks but also in behavior and sounds. I usually never really see them in the summer but right now, they are hanging around, competing with the Chickadees and the Nuthatches. They sound a lot like Chickadees but their voices are a bit stronger. And when they are in the mood, they loudly proclaim: PETERPETERPETER!
They are back!
The Titmice have made themselves rare this winter, but they have started to make themselves known again, in loud and beautiful PeterPeterPeters around the yard, as well as the camera. They are one of my favorites because they are just so stinking adorable and they make me happy.
What more can anyone want during these wild times?
