I was just looking this one up, futile, until a friend named it for me. I only saw it for a second or two, long enough for a couple of photos and it was gone. iBird fun facts: This little bird is on the decline due to spraying of trees with toxic chemicals where they forage for food, mainly insects. This is an old one for the bird books first described in 1808 by Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot, a French ornithologist.
I was delighted to find this bird. Just when I was thinking “wouldn’t it be cool to find a Black Throated Blue” there is was right in front of me. Click, click, click, click. A very approachable bird once found.
Once known as the Black and White Creeper, this little bird moves around on tree trunk seeking out bugs under the bark. Found in Canada during the summer and migrates south for the winter.
This little birds busy cleaning out an egg it found in a compost pile. Interestingly most tufted Titmice live their entire lives within a few kilometres of their birthplace. A fun fact from my iBird.
