Tufted titmice look like God walked up to one of the angels and said, "I need a songbird and I need it kawaii. I expect the prototype on my desk in half an hour" and then shoved a fistful of grey and white feathers into the angel's hands.

(They sound like the angel started working up a soundboard but had that half hour deadline hanging over them, so they basically got 'high pitched squeent', 'squeent squeent ANGRY BUZZ', and 'LOUD LOUD. LOUD LOUD LOUD' before the boss's trumpet sounded.)

That's my boys, or girls, or somethings. They like to hang with the chickadees and nuthatches. I like the pointy pseudo-hats.

We've had surprisingly few chickadees show up this year, but there appears to be a pair of white-breasted nuthatches who've been making persistent use of one particular tree in the backyard as a stash point for seeds from the neighbor's bird feeder. And, I think, one or two others, although it's a little hard to tell one nuthatch apart from another so it could just be the same two on high speed point-to-point travel or four or five different ones.

We also had a red-breasted nuthatch show up last year, but not until it was a bit warmer. Haven't seen that one back yet.
