Tufted Titmouse (RealAudio sample; click here to download RealPlayer)

The Tufted Titmouse, named for its tufted crest, is a common backyard species and a regular visitor to birdfeeders. The whistled song of the male is a whistled "peter-peter-peter" or "peeyer-peeyer-peeyer." Neighboring male's share song patterns and often match their patterns as they sing back-and-forth during territorial disputes.
