The tufted titmouse pair visiting my feeder occasionally reminds me this small relative of the chickadee flock frequenting the feeding station is still expanding its range in New Hampshire.
Years ago, it was deemed a typical southern bird, often only experienced below the Mason Dixon line. When I read birding books of that time, I realize it was a treat for those traveling to the southland to finally hear the bird’s whistled “Peter, peter, peter!” along about the time they reached tidewater Maryland.
