You have no idea how long I have waited for my sweet hybrid Black-crested x Tufted Titmice to show back up but I swear it feels like forever. When they fly it looks like they’re on a bouncing ball and they make the cutest little peeps but they also are full of FIGHT I can’t handle it I love them so much. They are closely related to chickadees and make a lot of the same sounds and have some of the same behaviors. Both of them LOVE black sunflower seeds, and will open them by hitting them against other things.

Right now I have spotted three individuals, but they do the same thing chickadees do where they visit the feeders in shifts, so I never know how many I have unless I can tell them apart, which is actually pretty easy with the hybrids because they can look fairly different depending on how much of which they are. In the last photo, the bird on the right of the feeder is the “new” bird, you can see he has a black square over his beak and his crest is gray (both Tufted traits!) except he does NOT have pink armpits like pure Tufted Titmice!

The star of the earlier photos is more Black-crested, except that rusty patch over his beak would be white if he was actually a Black-crested Titmouse!

A very nice treat yesterday - an Orchard Oriole showed up. Normally, I only see them at the beginning of the season. Of course it was already getting dark, so the photos had to be edited a bit and are too dark overall. Still neat.
