TINY BUT ACTIVE
The tiny titmouse is really so small he can hide behind a big leaf on a maple tree, but he is so active he will ncit be there long. He c&n eat a full hundred insects at one meal and lots of insects' eggs, too. In an hour lie must have another meal of ants and tiny bugs from the garden. So in one day the titmouse will devour hundreds of insect pests. The chickadee is his cousin and has the same kind of eating habits.
