Bird Families of the World

Eurasian Blue Tit

Tits are birds of Northern Hemisphere forest habitats. They have somewhat stouter bills and eat more seeds during the harsh winter months than do many other small passerine birds that resemble them. They reach their highest diversity in the Himalayas, where species display the entire array of crests, masks, bibs, and colors exhibited by this family around the world.


The family is Paridae

There are 63 species placed in 13 genera.

So far I have photographed 17 different species.

To make it easier you can find the genus name combined with the species name (visible when displaying the photograph)
