While I enjoy photographing, literally any bird that sits in front of my lens, there are certain families that particularly intrigue me. The Titmouse family is one of those. Usually very animated, very small so it is necessary to get very close to them, cooperative coming to feeders, and often seen in very nice settings. This is one of the more "plain" members of that family-the Oak Titmouse, found in the higher elevations of Southern California. This individual is a little disheveled, probably beginning to molt, but I found it a willing subject.
