A Guest Photographer......


While at work on Monday, my wife snapped a couple of shots of a bird we have not seen all winter. Because of the topnotch I knew it was a titmouse bird. I think that I have only seen them in books and magazine articles.  Some bird books say they can be in our area but others say it usually stays in southern Iowa.  I am glad my wife caught the glimpse and grabbed the camera.  It was fun to go onto the net and have the bird site share the sounds of the titmouse.  I found that they are cousins to the chickadee and some of there sounds are the same or similar.
