The Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) isn’t an uncommon bird, but it’s a bird that’s new to me. They’re a bit like Chickadees in some ways, for instance in the way they move, but they have a distinctive crest (the “tuft” of their name) that makes them pretty easy to identify. This is a less than great photo, but it’s been very hard to get a picture at all. They’re apparently in that class of bird that knows a camera on sight, and will do all they can to thwart a photographer.
