Swede’s Photographs

Titmouse Central

The image captures a pair of tufted titmice (Baeolophus bicolor) visiting a hanging wooden feeder. Seeing it reminds me that I need to repair this particular feeder so I can put it back into service—one of those designed to hold large seed cakes.

Tufted titmice are a favorite among a select group of bird enthusiasts. To celebrate these charming creatures, I’ve curated a special collection dedicated entirely to them in my photo gallery. Take a look!

"The image captures a lively moment between two tufted titmice at a rustic, hanging bird feeder. The feeder, crafted from weathered wood with a simple rectangular design and flat roof, sways slightly as the birds interact with it. One titmouse perches firmly on the edge, its delicate feet gripping the wooden surface while its keen eyes survey the scene. The second bird, mid-flight, approaches the feeder with its wings spread wide, feathers fanned in an elegant arc. The contrast between stillness and motion adds energy to the composition. The background is softly blurred, filled with hints of green foliage and golden sunlight filtering through. This gentle blur draws the eye to the subjects, creating an intimate view of their movements and expressions. The signature "© Swede's Photographs" rests at the bottom left corner, subtly marking the artistry behind the captured moment. The entire scene feels like a quiet snapshot of nature’s rhythm—one bird pausing, the other in motion, both drawn together by the promise of food and the ever-present pulse of life in the trees."

Nature as a dataviz medium? 🤓

Notice those white splatters on the wall?The brown spots along the boarded up red window? A heat map made out of poop and removed paint, showing which spots the kittiwakes typically breed.

The kittiwakes are back at their usual spot this year, except this time they’re not standing on any nest, but on a newly put up slanted plank. The amount of nesting material on the ground underneath indicating their failed nesting attempts.

A red building, with windows and doors that are closed with wood from the inside. One of the windows has a tilted window sill, on which three kittiwakes are standing. There are three big white areas of poop splatter on the wall below them, stretching from a bit underneath the window until the ground level, indicating a lot of repeated pooping over a long period of time. On the ground, there’s a lot of nest material from destroyed/fallen nests. There’s a similar poop and destroyed nest pattern on the left of the window, where a vertical beam has received a slanted wooden blank as well on top. There’s no kittiwake on that one.

Did I mention that I was surrounded by a mistle thrush family in the wood today? I'm not entirely sure how many they were, but I'd say a minimum of 4 birds. They all rattled at me for quite a while before flying off. 😊 #birds
