Colin, Sheeze these are good. What a cute little bird.

Fantastic work,

Thanks Greg! They're almost as difficult as Kinglets to photograph, as they ceaselessly bounce around.

The bushtits are nice but the perches make the shots. Do we have Brenda to thank for most of those or do you do all the foraging?

Great set.

Thanks, yes, perches are a critical part of the shot. Wifey got the winter berry branch in the last shot from a garden centre.

2, 3, 5 and 6 are totally natural perches.

1, 4, 7 and 8 I selected and placed in the back yard.

Thanks.

I’m curious to know if anyone has seen these Bushtits further east than their normal range indicated on this map. Anyone seen them in Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kansas etc?
