Wonderful picture! Congratulations. Do you happen to know the name of the berries in the picture? I am assuming they were being eaten by the titmouse..I would like to know how to attract this species - I have never seen them at my feeders....
Thanks!

The Tufted Titmouse only occurs very locally in Ontario with any regularity, some hotspots are along the Niagara River, Ruthven Historical Park, Rondeau Provincial Park, Pinery Provincial Park and Windsor. If you live away from those areas you would be very lucky to get one at your feeders.

And of course, the picture is stunning!

Lovely shot! Very nice composition.  That's a tough bird to find in Ontario, let alone get a decent photo.

Thanks TT and Thomas, thanks as well Thomas for answering TT's question. The Titmouse was not feeding off the berries, he would just perch on the branches while waiting for a spot on the seed feeder that is set up in the park. Any of the park Thomas mentioned will have the odd Titmouse this time of year. They move with the Chickadees, but you have to be very patient. It took over 5 hours to get this shot.
