Scientific Inquiry

Recently, someone whom we shall permit to remain unnamed asked "What's a bluetit?" and you know me, ever thirsty for knowledge, so I went looking. The first stop my mental process came to was, "remember those really horrible science films we saw back in Elementary, Junior and Senior High Schools? the black and white ones with the scientist dude always saying things like 'Neils Bohr unlocked the marvelous secret of the Atom'?"

Well, that same dude's voice was in my head saying "remember that frozen Charlie? Perhaps he can help us out."

Squirrel buried up to his elbows saying winter sucks! its going to take unitl july to thaw out my nuts

So I asked him, "Hey Charlie? What's a bluetit?"

And Charlie replied, "Oh, that's easy, you just need to ask Charlotta!"

So I called, "Here Charlotta! Come on out!"

Oh my. Sometimes science can be...so...graphic. Poor Charlotta is a very cold squirrel...one of those bluetits has fallen off...

poor charlotta the female squirrel is so cold her breast have turned blue, in fact, one of them has fallen off!

Oh heck...Even the science dude is cracking up.

Seriously, however, here is a picture of a Blue Tit.

a blue tit bird - very pretty!

Now that you know - you all can sleep well at nights...

LMAO!!!

But it's tits are yellow!!

Now your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to find a picture (or make another hysterical one) of the Great Tit that Marmite is talking about.

ROFLMAO! What the devil happened to the tit that fell off. You have lost it man! (In a good way, that is lol) And the Great Brit there has you looking for a Great Tit. Sounds like a challenge to me....

Marmite - While I am no expect on Tits and while I know of some "great" ones (best left unmentioned) I went my bird book of North American birds and found out there are no Blue or Great Tits in North America.

We do have a large number of Chickadees and Titmouse(s), most notably Black-capped and Carolina chickadees and Tufted Titmouse(s).

Would you believe there are dozens of different kinds of Tits and most of them do not live in North America? The list of species starts about half way down the page
