Families: Paridae, Remizidae, Aegithalidae
These birds are generally drab, small and have short legs and short but strong bills. They are usually found in small flocks, are social and inquisitive. They also mix in with other birds quite often.
Yesterday, I photographed Carolina Chickadees in a Charlie Brown Christmas tree. I'm sure many of you have seen A Charlie Brown Christmas and know the tree I mean.
Yesterday morning, I enjoyed taking several photos of a Carolina Chickadee while it was still very cold. These late fall mornings have been brisk lately.
Just a very simple Tufted Titmouse at an icy birdbath photo this morning. Or is it all that simple? For me, this titmouse image isn't all that simple, really.
Yesterday, I took images of several bird species with fall colors in the background—or at least as much fall color as I'm likely to see here this year.
It’s a pleasure to see Tufted Titmice so often here in Arkansas—they’re always full of character and much more camera-friendly than their Utah cousins.
Today I'm sharing two images of an adult Tufted Titmouse, taken yesterday while the titmouse was at the birdbath, enjoying a nice cool drink of water.
Today I am sharing a Tufted Titmouse video that I created early yesterday morning, showing the bird working hard to get a sunflower seed out of its shell.
Today, I am sharing Carolina Chickadee photos, plus a Trumpet Vine Sphinx moth that was on the driftwood where the chickadee landed two days ago in Arkansas.
It's been a minute since I shared bird images. Today I am sharing Tufted Titmouse and Carolina Chickadee photos. Are they dark and moody, or are they low key?
Sometimes I share photos here because they are simply so stinking cute. This hatch year Tufted Titmouse clinging to driftwood fits that reasoning perfectly.
I seem to be on a "chonky" subject streak lately including a chonky cowbird and green tree frog so I am continuing that streak with a chonky Carolina Chickadee.
Why would I share two Carolina Chickadee photos for the Fourth? Because I can. Because my mom loved these little birds and it has been one year since her death.
I was excited when an immature Tufted Titmouse came into my friend Steve Creek's birdbath two days ago to get a drink of refreshing water during the morning.
Last week, when I photographed this Carolina Chickadee near Cumberland Pool at Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge, it was singing its little heart out.
I'm sharing a bunch of bird and wildlife photos that I have recently photographed in my friend Steve's yard in Arkansas, and from Sequoyah NWR in Oklahoma.
Last spring, I took this young Tufted Titmouse photo in the yard of my dear friend, Steve Creek, while I was at his home resting and recuperating in Arkansas.
This year, I was thrilled to photograph Tufted Titmouse in my friend Steve Creek's very birdy and extremely wonderful Arkansas yard.
Even though I have taken Juniper Titmouse images, this titmouse species is still a bit of a nemesis bird for me. I just don't see them as much as I would like.
I was thrilled to take scores of Carolina Chickadee images when I was in Arkansas, from the comfort of my friend Steve Creek's deck while I visited with him.
I was thrilled to observe and photograph this charming young Tufted Titmouse a few days ago. I was able to see and hear Tufted Titmice in both Oklahoma and Arkansas.
I've photographed plenty of Black-capped Chickadees out west but it was about time to add a Carolina Chickadee gallery to my website. Now I have.
I liked how this image showed great Tufted Titmouse attitude. As small as this species is, they aren't afraid to get in the faces of much larger birds.
I'm visiting my friend and fellow photographer, Steve Creek, in Arkansas where I took images of this Tufted Titmouse at his bird feeder.
I photographed this singing Black-capped Chickadee adult this past August high up in the Wasatch Mountains on a very hot summer morning.
On Sunday I had this delightfully cheery, tiny Black-capped Chickadee hanging from a branch in my viewfinder for a few moments in time.
My trip out into the sky island mountains of the West Desert last week caused my concerns about this years crop of Douglas Fir seeds to grow.
I like having my windows open so I can hear the sounds of birds when I can't be in the field. It helps me to hear them especially when the world is so crazy.
Two days ago I was able to spend a few minutes taking Black-capped Chickadee photos as small flock of them foraged in Common Mulleins.
This is my 2020 photographic year in review. I'm selecting some of my favorite photos from 2020 and a few that just make me happy to see them.
I listen for birds everywhere I go. Their calls and songs help me to locate them so I can photograph and observe them as they go about their lives.
