Oh! Oh! Oh! A tufted titmouse! They used to come to our feeder when I was little, but vanished from that part of Ontario (extreme southwest) by the time I was in my teens, probably due to loss of woodland. I understand they still reside in the Niagara region, but I haven't seen one since I was a boy.

When we went camping in Florida at Juniper Spring (Ocala National Forest) there was a nice lady in the gift shop named Mrs. Robinson who would take peanuts out on the porch and call "Peter peter peter!" and her friend the titmouse would come to her hand.

But in all my life I have never seen a woodpecker tame enough to feed out of the hand. Wow!
