Busy, busy titmice

These Juniper Titmice are busy little birds, flitting about, making it a challenge to get a photo that is not blurred by their rapid movements.

I caught one of the titmice as it plucked what appears to be a bud off this siberian-type elm tree (this and other non-native elms have many 'buds' still on their branches, possibly due to the unseasonable warm temps we have had in Colorado this fall--including a high of 70 two days ago).

My favorite pic is the bottom one which I caught right after the titmouse shook it's feathers, getting them all fluffed up. SeEtta
