Bushtit

The Bushtit inhabits mixed open woodlands, often containing oaks and a scrubby understory. It is a year-round resident of the western United States and highland parts of Mexico, ranging from Vancouver through the Great Basin and the lowlands and foothills of California to southern Mexico and Guatemala.

The Bushtit is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The nest of the bushtit is constructed in a tree or shrub, typically four to twenty-five feet, rarely up to fifty feet, above the ground. Usually five to seven eggs are laid, and incubation is by both parents for twelve to thirteen days. The nestlings are tended by both parents and leave the nest after fourteen to fifteen days, becoming independent about eight days later. Sources: * Baicich, P. J., and C. J. O. Harrison. 1997. More
