* RED ELDERBERRY (Sambucus racemosa)--Eastern bluebird, Northern flicker, pileated woodpecker, red-bellied wood pecker,
tufted titmouseTufted Titmouse is monotypic (Grubb and Pravasudov, 2008), whereas the Black-crested Titmouse has several weakly marked subspecies (Patten and Smith- Patten, 2008).
All six species, Blackcapped Chickadee (N = 83, [X.sup.2] = 166.4, df = 3, P < 0.001),
Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor, N = 38, [X.sup.2] = 45.7, P < 0.001), White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis, N = 48, [X.sup.2] = 11.6, P = 0.009), House Finch (N = 106, [X.sup.2] = 19.4, P < 0.001), American Goldfinch (N = 96, [X.sup.2] = 35.8, P < 0.001), and House Sparrow (N = 49, [X.sup.2] = 62.1, P < 0.001), had differences in the frequency of visits to a seed variety after adjusting to the seed variety being in a new position (Table 1, see Fig.
Of the several gray birds pictured, only one had her visitor's little crest--the
tufted titmouse.
In contrast, 7 species (Scarlet Tanager, Rose-breasted Grosbeak,
Tufted Titmouse, White-breasted Nuthatch, Downy Woodpecker, Northern Cardinal, Hooded Warbler) were at least 1 standard deviation below their historical mean.
Four species had >150 visits during the study: the blue jay, the blacked-capped chickadee, the
tufted titmouse, and the house sparrow.
Alternatively, frequent prescribed burning, timber harvest, and hardwood reduction may negatively impact some species, including
tufted titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) (9), ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapillus), red-eyed vireo (10), and black-and-white warbler (Mniotilta varia; 5).
Some examples are the eastern fence lizard, copperhead, fox squirrel, eastern woodrat,
tufted titmouse, and Carolina wren.

Tufted Titmouse Moon and the Snowdrop Moon
Stunning photographs show scenes featuring a Northern Cardinal, slate-colored Dark-eyed Junco, a Red Breasted Nuthatch,
Tufted Titmouse, White Breasted Nuthatch, Black-capped Chickadee, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Wild Turkey, and finally, the mystery visitor, a doe deer!
The seven species were ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapillus; OVEN), red-eyed vireo (Vireo olivaceus; REVI), hooded warbler (Wilsonia citrina; HOWA), blue-gray gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea; BGGN),
tufted titmouse (Baeohrphus bicolor; TUTI), indigo bunting (Passerina cyanea; INBU), and prairie warbler (Dendroica discolor, PRAW), and represented a continuum from mature forest species to early successional species.
