I usally don’t see the Tufted Titmouse until we are well into winter. I saw this one last week.They are such a small but beautiful bird.
I read at least one place that most Tufted Titmice live their entire life within a few kilometers of their birthplace. That is wild. A little more:
The lifespan of the tufted titmouse is approximately 2.1 years, although it can live for more than ten years. On average, these birds will have a clutch size of five to seven eggs. Unlike many birds, the offspring of tufted titmice will often stay with their parents during the winter, and even after the first year of their life. Sometimes, a bird born the year before will help its parents raise the next year's young. See wilkpedia for more information.
