Useful Hints

  • Nests of the Juniper Titmouse are often placed in crevices in twisted trunks of larger, older juniper trees.
  • The incubating female sits very tight on the nest while incubating, and will hiss like a snake if disturbed.
  • Nests may be reused by the same or a different pair in subsequent years.
