Tufted Titmouse Fledglings Jordan Lake NC Royalty-Free Stock Photography

Titmice build bowl-shaped nests inside holes of trees bored out by Woodpeckers. They first fill the cavity with damp leaves, moss, grasses, and bark strips. Then, they line this cup with soft materials such as hair, fur, wool, and cotton. They’ve even been known to pluck hairs directly from living mammals such as raccoons, cows, horses and others.Incubation takes around 13 days with fledglings taking off for the first time taking place about 16 days after hatching.
