Tufted Titmouse

The Tufted Titmouse is a noisy song bird and can usually be heard before it's seen. It is a social bird and will frequently join with Chickadees and Nuthatches to form small flocks.The Tufted Titmouse is non-migratory bird and can be found over most of eastern North American and in Southern Canada, especially where deciduous and mixed woodlands are found. They prefer a dense canopy any will nest in swamps or parks.The Tufted Titmouse's primary food source is insects, especially caterpillars, but it will also eat seeds, nuts and berries. It can be seen as it forages on the ground and through the branches of trees. When feeding at a birdfeeder, the Tufted Titmouse will scout the area from the cover of trees before flying to the birdfeeder.
