Thanks James and Jim! You are very correct about them never sitting still! This guy sat on the branch for awhile scolding other birds that flew by, so took advantage of his grumpy attitude and got some photos :)

I like the fine detail...you nailed this one, Ashley. Usually these little guys do not sit still very long.

Thank you Caleb and Mary! Mary, these used to be the same species as tufted titmouse, but several years ago they split them apart. This species is only found in TX, OK, and a little into Mexico
