Getting Close: Tufted Titmouse


The Tufted Titmice and White-Breasted Nuthatches have been swarming to the sunflower heads. They have become so acclimated to human presence that Willard and I can photograph them from only a few feet away.

This image as well as the White-Breasted Nuthatch in my banner was shot from about 10 feet with the 100-400mm lens.

Hi Salty,
What a great photo, and macro, you capture a great warm feeling with your shots.

Thanks for your welcome back message and kind comments.

My GGGrandfather was a shepherd somewhere up in Scotland.

What a sweet photo! The detail is so crisp! We have these little guys feeding off of our doorstep (hubby is always certain to leave a handful of birdfood on the step when he drinks his morning coffee... in part to make sure the neighborhood cats don't get too close)!

Love this with seed in his mouth! One of my fave birds!
