Tufted Titmouse - House Hunting to Fledging!

Incredible video by Austin & Paul Murray

I was sent a link to this video and just had to pass it on to my readers. Three of my twenty nestboxes are currently occupied by the Oak Titmouse. To see my previous post on these great little birds go here: Oak Titmouse.

This is by far, the best bird video I have seen to date. It follows a Tufted Titmouse pair from finding a nest site to fledging their young. You’ve got to watch this 9 minute video if you love Titmice or even ever wondered what goes on inside a birdhouse during the breeding season.

You can find all of Paul’s videos here: Paul Murray’s Videos

Happy Birding!

This is unbelievable footage. I had an incredulous adoring smile on my face the entire time watching it. I have just spotted a titmouse at my bird feeder. My first one (late November 2008).

I have tonsof Sparrows, 2 cardinals ( I used to have 4 but found two dead ones in the yard ) 4 doves some starlings and a couple of blue jays. One other small black one that I can’t identify. I am in Brooklyn and am just discovering the fun bacjyard birds.
