TROPIC and NEAR-TROPIC BIRD COLLECTION

Photo Profile Tufted Titmouse Tufted Titmouse- Baeolophus bicolor Tufted Titmouse- Baeolophus bicolor, Order Passeriformes- Family Paridae. Dave held the bird for a photo profile. I had the pleasure of participating in Mist Netting at Acton Lake in Heuston Woods State Park with Dave and Jill Russel of Miami University. It was a seasonally cold late February morning. I learned a lot and look forward to the next time I can go. This Chickadee was one of eight birds caught in the mist nets.
