Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor)

A Tufted Titmouse was spotted near the pond, I did not personally see this species and so cannot report on any activity.

The Tufted Titmouse is medium sized passerine bird with a grayish coloration and a crest atop its head not to dissimilar from that of Cardinal's crest. They have a black lore and peach coloring underneath the wings.

  Tufted Titmouse Song

The song of the Tufted Titmouse varies in syllables, it can be one syllable or five.
