Two tufted titmice in flight. One tuftie is just taking off, its wings spread wide but its toes are still in contact with the branch. That's great split-second timing! The photographer is Mark Olsen.
On the right, the second bird has completely left its branch. Love those curled-up toes! The photographer is Jeff Rosenberg.
Note that with both birds, their crests are plastered down on their heads so they're aerodynamically rounded and don't have have the characteristic "cone" shape. While some tufties do fly with their crests partially up, more often, they use their pointy heads as communication and aggression signals to other birds: "Leave my food alone!" "The exit from my territory's that way!" or "What is this strange thing I'm looking at?!" which is sometimes done when encountering a camera lens on a feeder. Normally, tufties are cheerful and social little birds, but when the crest very sharply goes way up, it can be a way of signaling irritation.
Again, photographer on the left is Mark Olsen. Photographer on the right is Jeff Rosenberg.

Aww, poor baby! 😘
Photographer Ilkka Korhonen's caption is better than anything I could dream up:
"Onneksi firman pikkujoulut on vain kerran vuodessa."
"Luckily, the company Christmas party only comes once a year."
Eurasian Blue Tit. 💙 🤍 💛 🖤

Speaking of tufted titmice being aggressive... check out this pair of them fighting in midair! On the bird to the left, those little feet don't look so little anymore. Man, those talons!! 😱
The photographer is Enrique Shore.

I posted this a while back, but it's time to post it again. Everyone needs a laugh. 🤣
We're used to seeing that sweet little conehead, the tufted titmouse, with its crest raised, but often don't realize it can raise it as a form of aggression. This one is pissed off at a camera for intruding into its lunch plate.
Video from Tufted Titmouse (what an original name!) on Bluesky.

An extraordinary photo of a juvenile California Condor. 🖤 😘
In order not to disturb the bird, it was not taken close up, but with a telephoto lens and then heavily cropped.
The photographer is Tim Huntington.

I'm loving on quails these day! 🤎 🤍 🩶 🖤
I didn't realize that the California Quail is the state bird of California. Like... duh? 🤣
Here are two lovely quorbs. The first is a female, her picture taken by a Bird Buddy feeder.
The second is a stately male showing off his quorbness and beautiful black plume. I do not know the photographer.

A flock of bushtits taking a collective bath. I love the one up in the air; it looks like it plans to plop on down in the middle and send up a tsunami! 🤣 🌊
