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 with my camera and some peanuts. Everybody was hungry that day, and the titmice were clamoring for attention from anyone who was walking down the trail. Maybe we spoil our park birds in Canada, but they can pay us back with some wonderful winter images!
