The Black-crested Titmouse is a striking species of the southern Great Plains and Texas, characterized by its prominent black crest, contrasting with a grey body and white underparts. It is a common woodland bird.
Where to spot
Found in central and southern Texas, Oklahoma, and northeastern Mexico, inhabiting juniper, oak, and mesquite woodlands, as well as suburban areas.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive black crest in woodlands. Listen for its loud, clear, often slower 'peter-peter-peter' song, which can distinguish it from the Tufted Titmouse.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day, particularly mornings.

This titmouse was formerly considered a subspecies of the Tufted Titmouse, but distinct vocalizations and genetic differences led to its recognition as a separate species.
