The little bird has been speaking wordlessly to me for about five minutes now. What kind of bird is that?

I’m pretty sure it’s a male Bushtit, am.

Isn’t he sweet?

We have both Marsh and Great Tits here, both of whom I love dearly for their infinite cheeriness and nimble, short song. This little bird is a beauty! Thank you.

Awwwwwwwww!

Damn that is a cute bird picture. Sweet little bugger.

That’s what I was thinking it might be. They always visit my suet feeders in flocks. I was surprised to see a single one. He is fearlessly sweet!

I agree, a bushtit, what a lovely gift they are, and usually “they” as someone said. I always wonder how they let each other know when it’s time to move on. Something about them brings solace, a moving quiet to relish. As always, thanks for your gift. kjm

He looks like he’s got eyelashes. I just keep wanting to come back and look at him again. So sweet.
