Tufted titmouse, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, July 28, 2018

Another recent visitor to our little pond. The sound of water really brings the birds in.

Baeolophus bicolor
Tufted Titmice nest in tree holes (and nest boxes), but they can’t excavate their own nest cavities. Instead, they use natural holes and cavities left by woodpeckers. These species’ dependence on dead wood for their homes is one reason why it’s important to allow dead trees to remain in forests rather than cutting them down.
