Titmouse Until recently the Juniper Titmouse and the Oak Titmouse were considered one species called the Plain Titmouse. The Plain Titmouse is a year-round resident from southern Oregon, northeastern Nevada, southern Wyoming, and western Oklahoma, south to Baja California, central and southeastern Arizona, southern New Mexico, and extreme western Texas. In California, it prefers oak woodlands; in the Great Basin and desert mountain ranges, it occurs in pinyon-juniper woodlands. Greatest numbers inhabit evergreen trees in dry woodlands of the Southwest. The Plain Titmouse usually builds a nest in natural cavities or old woodpecker holes, primarily in oak trees and will also use nest boxes if available. It is capable of excavating its own cavity in rotted wood. The Plain Titmouse gleans much of its food, which is predominantly insects, from limbs, twigs, and from the ground. Also eats leaf galls, weed seeds, pinyon nuts, acorns, oats and cherries.
