Baeolophus bicolor
A little gray bird with an echoing voice, the Tufted Titmouse is common in eastern deciduous forests and a frequent visitor to feeders. The large black eyes, small, round bill, and brushy crest gives these birds a quiet but eager expression that matches the way they flit through canopies, hang from twig-ends, and drop in to bird feeders. When a titmouse finds a large seed, you’ll see it carry the prize to a perch and crack it with sharp whacks of its stout bill.
Semi rural.
Another regular at my feeders!

Mine too James! I love that they will even come to the feeder when I am there refilling it!
These are my favorite at the feeder. Great pics.
My two like to watch the birds through the window but that is as close as they get! I used to have indoor/outdoor cats when I lived in England & they occasionally caught birds & mice which was very upsetting. My last cat over there used to bring in critters & then lose interest in them & I would often come home to a disgruntled blackbird or sparrow hiding under my desk or sitting on the curtain poles!
I look forward to seeing photos of your gang of 10! :)
10:)in next week i'll post photos that my wife take and is editing so i can post them here and you'll se what i mean:)they are a big gang,lovely in a way but very wild to,so i prefered not to atract birds near the house,even so every year the house sparrows that make nests in the roofs when they trie to do the firsts fligths ,they have the gang down waiting,some times i have to close all the 10 to save a juvenil that fall from the trees,so it's one thig that i love to se ,feeders beeing used:)
What a shame Antonio - i love to watch the birds from our kitchen window! Our two cats are indoor only but we do have a neighborhood cat that likes to hang out under to feeders - I shoo her off whenever I see her but I'm thinking of investing in a water pistol to discourage her before the breeding season is underway. Wow, ten cats!!! You are a real cat-lover!
Beautiful Karen,i cant have feeders near the house my 10 cats are a terrible killing force,so i spread some by the Woods remaining in the area,but allways at list 1km from home cats are terrible for birds
