Black-Crested Titmouse
Baeolophus atricristatus
Once considered a sub-species of the Tufted Titmouse, this South Texas and North-East Mexican specialty has been given full “species status”. When I first heard its song I could not believe so small a bird could have such a loud voice. These birds prefer wooded or thornbush habitats, but are comfortable in urbanized areas too. They behave as all titmice do at feeders, snatching a seed and retreating to a nearby perch to hammer away until releasing the prise.
