Bushtits at 4 - 4 1/2 inches are one of the smallest and busiest birds that you will see. A long tail and very drab coloring are helpful clues to making an identification. They are prone to travel in flocks and are easily attached to suet feeders in large numbers. They build a sock like hanging nest made out of moss, twigs, lichen, feathers, and spider web, with an opening at the top. |
