American Crows can be found in a variety of habitats. Agricultural and grassland areas are the best habitat for crows as these types of areas heavily increase their ability to forage for food. American Crows also use nearby force edges for breeding and roosting Tufted Titmice on the other hand live in deciduous forests or mixed evergreen deciduous forests. Tufted Titmice typically prefer areas with dense canopies that have a variety of tree species. They can also be found in orchard parks and suburban areas. These areas are best suited for Tufted Titmice as their diets are mostly composed of insects and seeds of which are incredibly abundant in these types of forests. One Tufted Titmouse that I located was defending a prime territory. While I did not see the titmouse, it could be identified via its song. Since it was defending a prime territory this would indicate that that particular bird had high fitness. Chickadees use a variety of nesting materials. They often start breeding during the spring season and will typically make their nests in a wooded area specifically in a hole of a tree or limb. Chickadees enjoy soft materials such as mosses or rabbit fur. Chickadees are able to locate these materials in the forests that they typically live in.
