At approximately 0950h this morning I observed what appeared to be a Tufted Titmouse in a deciduous woodland in the east end of Cobourg. At 1615h this afternoon a positive sighting was made of a Tufted Titmouse, possibly the same bird observed earlier in the day. This time I was able to observe the bird for about ten minutes before it disappeared in the brush. The typical song - a loud whistled peter, peter, peter was also noted.
Directions: From downtown Cobourg (Division & King Street) proceed east on King Street (formerly Hwy #2) to Willmott Street, turn right and proceed south to Thompson Street turning left (east) and proceed to the intersection with Normar Road. The Titmouse has been observed in the woods on the northwest corner near the stream and abandon farm buildings. It has also been observed crossing to the eastern side of Normar Road, once again near the stream and some less visible abandon farm buildings.
