Two years ago today I felt extremely fortunate to have this Tufted Titmouse in my viewfinder while I visited my dear friend Steve Creek<\/span><\/a> in Arkansas.<\/p>\n

\"AdultAdult Tufted Titmouse perched on driftwood \u2013 Canon R7, f8, 1\/1000, ISO 640, -0.3 EV, Canon RF 100-500 mm at 500m, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t have my photography gear with me after my trip back home to Virginia, so I was using Steve\u2019s Canon gear and photographing from his deck.<\/p>\n

Tufted Titmice were, at that time, a bird species I hadn\u2019t photographed in years and years because they aren\u2019t found in Utah. Now living in Arkansas, I see them on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Maybe I\u2019ll even photograph a Tufted Titmouse today. I hope so.<\/p>\n

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