 Bridled
TitmouseThe Bridled Titmouse is a year-round resident from central and southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, south locally to Mexico. This species of titmouse is enerally found in oak woodlands and pine-oak associations from 5,000 to 7,000 feet in elevation. In winter, it may move down slope along streams where cottonwoods are present. The Bridled Titmouse usually builds a nest in natural cavities of dead and living oak, but will also use cavities in cottonwood, willow, and mesquite. It accepts nesting holes made or used by other species and even uses nest boxes. It spends much of its time foraging in crevices in bark, on tree trunks, and on branches, for adults, larvae, and eggs of insects. The Bridled Titmouse can be told from the similarly-shaped Plain Titmouse by its black and white face pattern. Mexican and Mountain Chickadees lack the crest of the Bridled titmouse.
