tufted titmouse (taking tiny timeout) @titmou.se · Sep 9

Doing a social media break, really need to detox. Yell at me if you see me on here. Available on telegram and discord (both @tufted_titmouse) if you need me or if you have tuftie pics you want to show me (those are important too!)

in the meantime, switching over to this distraction free computer :)

A huge group of people are in a giant hole in the middle of a rolling field. There is a large sign with an arrow pointing to the hole that says "HOLE." Suddenly the group's attention turns to a new hole, complete with a giant sign with an arrow pointing to it that says "NEW HOLE." One person points to the new hole and says "hey look! Someone made a new hole!" The mass clamours out of the old hole and makes a bee-line toward the new hole. It's chaos. One person, now situated in the new hole says "this feels like how the old hole used to feel." Another person nods in agreement.

Two surgeons are performing and autopsy. They are extracting various organs from a corpse. Another surgeon has shown up in a large Spongebob mascot outfit.

"Hello"
Red-bellied woodpecker holding on to my finger as it looks over the situation before selecting a treat.

Woodpecker with an off white belly and a red cap and red between its eyes going down to the base of its black beak. It's hanging on to my finger and hand like a shelf and looking over to assess the situation before deciding what snacks it might want to pick.
ICYWW what it feels like to have it grab my finger, there's not a strong pinch. All of the birds exert just enough pressure to keep their balance and hold their weight, which is to say very little. Almost nothing. Especially if they're standing on my hand and not having to hold on like this woodpecker. Even here, though, it's sense of balance is such that it requires very little effort for it to hold on.

Happy Tuesday friends... assembling my photos to create my annual calendar, I came across this Tufted Titmouse from January, taken at Huntington Beach State Park in SC. Northern Ohio Titmice are camera shy. Happy this dude was not. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin

Center frame, facing and looking left, perched on a thin branch of a Live Oak tree, a Tufted Titmouse examines the branch for insects or insect larvae. Captured in Murrell's Inlet, SC, along with the flora of the tree, a nice sky-blue background enhances the bird's features. From Allaboutbirds.org., Tufted Titmice look large among the small birds that come to feeders, an impression that comes from their large head and eye, thick neck, and full bodies. The pointed crest and stout bill help identify titmice even in silhouette. Soft silvery gray above and white below, with a rusty or peach-colored wash down the flanks. A black patch just above the bill makes the bird look snub-nosed.

Watcher in the Thicket

One of the quiet joys of my backyard is how the placement of bird feeders and shrubs creates a natural stage for photography. Here's a tufted titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) perched on a crepe myrtle branch—an elegant visitor framed by intention and chance.

"Ceremonial Image Description A small bird perches delicately on a slender, leafless branch—its body soft gray and white, with a darker crest that rises like a thoughtful crown. The tufted titmouse gazes outward, black eyes alert and gentle, as if listening to the hush between breezes. Its feathers catch the ambient light, subtle and smooth, while the surrounding twigs weave a quiet lattice around it. Behind the bird, the background blurs into a wash of green and yellow, like a watercolor memory of forest and sun. The scene feels intimate, hushed—an encounter with a creature both watchful and serene, suspended in a moment of quiet observation." - Copilot

tuft up = upset, so this is good

Titmouse pauses to have a thought. Tuft is not deployed. I'm not sure what that means.

Small gray bird with black eyes and rusty-colored flanks looks like it's pondering something as it stands on the pads of my pinky and ring fingers.

Ludwig van Beethoven was an such a big fan of radio technology that he incorporated the dit-dit-dit-dah morse code symbol for the letter V—the initial of Vienna, the city he lived in—into his famous fifth symphony.
