I liked how this image showed great Tufted Titmouse attitude. As small as this species is, they aren’t afraid to get in the faces of much larger birds. They also chase off smaller birds too.<\/p>\n

\"TuftedTufted Titmouse attitude \u2013 Canon R7, f8, 1\/1250, ISO 4000, Canon RF 100-500 mm at 500m, natural light, at a feeder<\/span><\/p>\n

What is happening in this image?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yesterday while photographing birds in my friend Steve Creek’s yard<\/span><\/a> this titmouse got defensive when a bigger Red-bellied Woodpecker flew in. The titmouse and its mate have a new nest nearby and they chase off the woodpeckers when they come in to eat at the feeder if<\/em> the titmice are around. They have mountains of attitude.<\/p>\n

I liked this pose, the light, and the background in this Tufted Titmouse photo.<\/p>\n

On a personal note:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You might have noticed that many of my posts have been shorter than normal the past month. I had a great deal to accomplish in a little over three weeks time. It exhausted me and right now I am in rest and recuperation mode.<\/p>\n

I do have tons of photos to share of the birds here in Arkansas that Steve has shown me. I’m grateful he has loaned me his Canon R7 to use while I am here and that he taught me how to use it. He has also been very understanding of what I went through in Virginia and what I am still dealing with. Thanks, Creek!<\/p>\n

In the meantime:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I plan on enjoying all of the eastern birds and animals I am seeing, hearing, and photographing. I have so much to share! Temps have been delightful, birds plentiful and the scenery is gorgeous. Arkansas is terrific and I am glad to visit this lovely state.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
