I was excited when an immature Tufted Titmouse came into my friend Steve Creek’s birdbath<\/span><\/a> two days ago to get a drink of refreshing water during the morning.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen, heard, and photographed quite a few Tufted Titmice since I left Utah, but I was hoping to get images of the young ones, and I did.<\/p>\n

Steve pointed out how big the feet of the young titmouse are, and I agree. Their feet are very large in comparison to their bodies, especially their heads.<\/p>\n

Immature Tufted Titmice have a soft, sweet look to their faces. Not that the adults look like “Angry Birds” or anything like that; they simply don’t look quite as sweet. That is just my own opinion, of course.<\/p>\n

I didn’t see Tufted Titmice in Utah, but I did see their cousins, the Juniper Titmice. Although I heard them more often than I photographed them, for a variety of reasons.<\/p>\n

It has been quite hot here, with heat indexes easily over 100\u00b0F, which means plenty of birds are coming to Steve’s birdbath to drink or bathe.<\/p>\n

That means numerous opportunities for us to take photos of all the birds enjoying the birdbath and water.<\/p>\n

I know I am enjoying my time here with Steve and Rosie, being able to photograph from the comfort of his deck, coffee in hand and a smile on my face.<\/p>\n

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