Talented Bird

Tufted Titmouse

Standing on the deck in the sunshine, I kept hearing a bird go, "deeter-deeter-deeter." I looked that call up online, and turns out it was a tufted titmouse. When the Oak Trail apartments were new, Bob and I lived in the highest building in the community. A pair of these birds would sit on my balcony, and one of them would sing a beautiful call that sounded like Maria Callas.  I think they can make most any sound they like. Sometimes they sound like a cat mewing.

I can't find a photo of Bob, but this is a sketch I made of him about 1982. His spots were ginger-colored.
