The giveaway is that they look exactly like a Tufted Titmouse, except those have been extinct since 1974.<br /><br />The second is not a bird, but an oak leaf that is <i>camouflaged</i> as a bird to keep the leaf predators away. Yes, it's very convincing, isn't it? That's the brilliance of it all!<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving, Carletta!Craver Viihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882284402568264182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8651794525042598507.post-41074575585545937272012-11-25T02:10:06.420-05:002012-11-25T02:10:06.420-05:00I love your little birds!
