Baeolophus bicolor (not Parus bicolor)[edit]

Baeolophus was split from Parus in 1997. see http://www.aou.org/checklist/Suppl43.pdf and http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2987473450040004820vAShNs

I have replace any occurance of "Parus" in this article. ++Arx Fortis 13:47, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Black-crested titmouse in range map[edit]

Hi Mitchellhobbs and Danbloch- Can you guys discuss things here for the rest of us? I like both titmice and maps, and I have not picked up on what the disagreement is. Eric ^talk 02:57, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what the disagreement is either. My guess is that Mitchellhobbs was objecting to removing the information that the black-crested titmouse was split from the tufted titmouse (and not the change to the range map caption), so I've put that back. Dan Bloch (talk) 04:18, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks, looks good to me. Eric ^talk 15:12, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Danbloch:, Eric. I reverted Danbloch's edit because I disagree with his/her's edit hoping we would discuss it here on the talk page before anymore reverts, since the article has been that way since the 13th of October. my suggestion is for Dan Bloch to ~~self revert~~ until we have a thorough chance to discuss ~ By the way nice meeting both of you'all! ~mitch~ (talk) 15:14, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First off I think this should stay "Relatively "larger than a chickadee","~ the reader can visually compare the size difference between the two birds. ~mitch~ (talk) 15:25, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Plus a cite was removed from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology cited to identify the Titmouse.^[1]

I am open to moving it further down the article I just don't know where to put it just yet ~ any suggestions? ~mitch~ (talk) 15:44, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Blue plumage?[edit]

I have a tufted titmouse visitor to my house deck in southern Maine each morning, but its colors are white, light blue, and orange. It is distinctly blue, not gray, in my opinion, unlike the photos. It enjoys grabbing a whole roasted peanut in the shell that I put out for squirrels. David Spector (talk) 14:46, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name? It doesn't look like a mouse, yet no explanation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.229.123.117 (talk) 02:17, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
