Black-crested Titmouse (Baeolophus atricristatus)Observer
ptexisDescription
I was surprised to see this titmouse sitting on a fresh DOR raccoon. It was busily plucking hair, harvesting hair, I assume to line a nest. As I watched out the car window, it plucked a beakful and flew off. It returned in a minute or two and plucked more. This time I waited several minutes, but it did not return before I left.
