Tufted titmice (Baeolophus bicolor) are regular visitors in my backyard. I captured this image of one singing in the forest near my home a couple of years ago.
Tufted titmice are a favorite among a select group of bird enthusiasts. To celebrate these charming creatures, I’ve curated a special collection dedicated entirely to them in my photo gallery. Take a look!

Good morning. ☕☕☕
23 December 2025
I remember decades ago, when I was just getting started — stationed overseas with the Army, no car, no easy way to get around. What we did have was the Sears catalog. I think they sent it out once a year, the way phone books used to arrive like clockwork. It was as thick as the phonebook of a major city, a brick of possibility. In a way, it was the 20th‑century version of Amazon. You could order almost anything by mail, though the process was much slower. Living overseas, it could take weeks for something to arrive.
We’d flip through the catalog and daydream about what we might buy. I remember lingering over the idea of a bicycle with a moped-style motor. I never went through with it — even that modest machine would have taken a big bite out of the little money I had. But at the time, the idea felt practical, even sensible. Looking back now, it feels more like a youthful fantasy of mobility and independence.
These days, electric bikes are everywhere. And I think: what a cool idea — an electric bicycle. In some cities you see them lined up along the street, ready for use. I’m not entirely sure how the system works; I assume you rent them. If I were younger, I might be tempted to buy one myself.
Sometimes I wonder whether we’ll eventually see electric bicycle races — big arena events, something like the Indy 500 or NASCAR, with riders in bright suits and helmets, ready for a high-speed electric sprint. Maybe such races already exist and just haven’t hit the mainstream yet. Who knows — the WPEB, the World Professional Electric Bicycling league, might one day be a real thing.
“Long before Amazon trucks rumbled down our hollers, Christmas arrived in a much quieter way — tucked in the mailbox… It was the Sears Christmas Wish Book. That catalog didn’t just show things. It showed possibility.” - Newsbreak

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.

I mentioned on Bluesky that a tufted titmouse will sometimes raise its tuft as an aggressive gesture, and got a reply with a wonderful little video of one doing exactly that. The account name is... wait for it... TUFTED TITMOUSE!!

We've had a spectacularly successful breeding season for birds in our yard, and here's one of at least four Tufted Titmouse that have been yelling their raspy squeak from the trees for the past few days.

In other news, I've been using the REAL #BirdApp -- #Merlin from Cornell Labs. So far, I've identified #HouseWren, #AmericanRobins, #NorthernCardinal, #TuftedTitmouse, #PurpleFinch, #EasternTowhee and #RedEyedVireo -- just from my backyard! Some of them are migratory. Will post more about them soon. The #AmericanRobin is nesting next to the house, so that one comes up a lot.
