Tufted Titmouse, Kennebunk, Maine, USA I have been trying for 3 years now to get a decent photo of this Titmouse. It is part of a pair that started coming to our feeders 3 years ago, and have returned each year since. The mate is a normal Tufted Titmouse, with a grey chest and a bit of rust under the wings. I posted a photo of that bird a few days ago. I first I thought this bird had just gotten into something and stained its feathers…but when it returned the second year, and now the third, with this same plumage, I have to assume it is some kind of melanistic coloring. So, my fellow birders, have you ever seen the like? Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Polarr and Apple Photos.
