Today was a work day, and at someone's bird feeder I tried really hard to capture a nervous tufted titmouse. They don't hold still for long.

The easiest way to identify them is that they are a small gray bird with a crest. But, do you think I can manage to catch that crest lifted with the camera? Nope! However, he seems to want to play hide and seek.

"How do you like my tail?"

They are so cute, aren't they? I really enjoy this joyful little creatures. At least they make me feel joyful. I don't know why, but they do.
I love birds. I spend hours at outside too trying to capture good shots.
I too wait as you did for him to show off his crown. But, usually an event like that happens just after I put down my camera.
I love to see bird pictures and these are wonderful. Birds make me happy!
Happy day to you!:-)

This is proper bird photography!
The Titmouse are cute birds, fun photos. Have a great day and weekend!
Awe...
They are very quick! Lots of them at my feeders these days and yet to get a great clear picture of them. Have a great weekend!
Chuck- I think their nervousness makes them look very high-energy, and thus we envy their joy
Jackie- some day I'll have more time to sit at someone's feeder and get a decent shot
John- proper in that I take whatever the birds are doing?
Eileen- they really are cute, but so elusive!
Shelly- lots of little birds bring on an "aw!"
reena- well, if you can't get a clear picture I don't feel so incompetent!
