Nicole Magazu, of Land O’ Lakes, captured this cute portrait of a tufted titmouse. According to the Audubon society, titmice are related to chickadees, and like them, readily come to bird feeders, often carrying away sunflower seeds one at a time. These birds open acorns and seeds by holding them with their feet and pounding them with their bills. Tufted titmice are little seed hoarders and will stock-pile hulled sunflower seeds in a tree cache as close as 130 feet from the feeder location.
