Tufted Titmouse
Châteauguay, Québec
A little snow never gets a tufted titmouse down! These sassy little birds have a ton of personality and have been delighting backyard birdwatchers for decades. They can even become hand-tame, but a cluster of sumac berries works just as well as a convenient perch. This photo was taken in the middle of winter right after a foot of snow had come down overnight. Before anyone, or anything, had the chance to leave their footprints in it, I went out to one of my favorite spots just south of Montréal. The snow from the night before had formed an impressive bank behind the sumac branches, and by using only that snowbank as a background, I managed to achieve what I often call "natural background deletion". Exposing for the grey bird let the snow several meters behind him blur out into pure, detail-free white, and all without ever touching the "replace background" button in Photoshop! Maybe we spoil our park birds in Canada with excessive offerings of sunflower seeds and peanuts —I know I certainly do— but in return, they can pay us back with some wonderful winter images!
