| I saw this tufted titmouse, Baeolophus bicolor, in Central Park on one of those spring-like days last week. Cute, right? It was picking up seeds someone had left on the ground. Click to enlarge. |

| The bird preferentially selected sunflower seeds, like the one it's holding in this picture. How to open a sunflower seed if you're a titmouse? The same way a blue jay does it: fly away to a branch, hold the nut in both feet and jab it with your beak until it breaks. |

| Oh. And don't stop too long to watch the photographer. |
