I have a group of 3 titmice that visit nearly everyday. One of the funny things is that they are more active when I’m around. If I’m watching from my window I sometimes will only see a little activity from them or will go 10-15 minutes without seeing them. If I go outside they will quickly show up. They either think I’m putting out new food or they know I keep some of the other birds away from the food. Sometimes I’ll be standing within a foot of the feeder and they will fly down and say hello, grab a seed, and fly off.

He may not have a name but he visits me every day and says hi even when I'm standing right next to the feeder.
