Juniper Titmouse
Until recently the Juniper Titmouse was considered a subspecies of the Plain Titmouse, which has been split into this species and the Oak Titmouse. This acrobatic feeder eats nuts, seeds, insects, calling often as it plucks food from trees and bushes. Its call is a harsh see-dee-dee.

The Juniper Titmouse is a sparrow-sized bird that is plain gray with paler underparts and a small crest which is usually erect. It gleans much of its food, which is predominantly insects, from limbs, twigs and from the ground. It also eats leaf galls, weed seeds, pinyon nuts, acorns, oats and cherries. The Juniper Titmouse usually builds a nest in natural cavities, old woodpecker holes and bird houses if available. It is also capable of excavating its own nest cavity in rotted wood.

The Juniper Titmouse is a year-round resident from southeastern Oregon and central Colorado south to southeastern California, Arizona and extreme western Texas. It prefers Pinyon-juniper woodlands.
