Juniper Titmouse
Baeolophus ridgwayi (Richmond, 1902)
Paridae — Tits, Chickadees
Juniper Titmouse, Baeolophus ridgwayi, is a tit in the family Paridae that breeds in western USA and northern Mexico. It was split from the plain titmouse in 1996 on the basis of song, habitat and genetic differences. It is a resident bird of the Great Basin and nearby dry country, especially open pinyon-juniper woodland and desert riparian woodland. It has a small crest and a grey plumage, with males and females looking alike. Its song is a rolling run of notes on one pitch, and its call is a harsh tschick-adee.
