Notes:

INTERESTING FACTS Most Tufted Titmice live their entire life within a few kilometers of their birthplace. In Cherokee legend, they are regarded as messengers. They only occur in areas where rainfall is greater than 24 inches per year, and are more common where rainfall exceeds 32 inches per year. A group of titmice are collectively known as a "banditry" and a "dissimulation" of titmice.
