The bush tit song, particularly slowed down, was wonderful. We haven’t seen bush tits at 7000 ft on the North

Mules yet this year.

Thanks Neighbor! You probably get some great birds all the same! Yeah, that was fun slowing it down, realizing of course that we would never actually hear their song that way...but I was curious about additional information in the song after listening to an NPR story about ED Yong's new book, An Immense World.

We did have bush tits 2021, November and December. I really enjoy your posts. Thanks

Wow, so cute! I didn’t know there were multiple species of titmice either. I did laugh at “sweatshirt weather”. Mid 40s and I’m wearing a coat and gloves!

Thanks Karen! I didn't mention I usually wrap up in a blanket--at least until the sun comes into the yard. There are four other titmice that I'm aware of, but just the Juniper Titmouse is likely to show up here (not yet!). We had a Tufted Titmouse in the Chiricahuas last summer, a nesting pair I believe. I've seen Oak Titmice on the CA coast.
