Researchers found that great tits are laying eggs earlier in the spring than they used to, keeping step with the earlier emergence of caterpillars.

I'm pretty certain I've seen these in the U.S. as well

Gaddss!! I've seen some ugly sets of them but that goes beyond ugly. Why you'd almost think they were birds or something. blink.gif whistling.gif

Actually, I did read the article NoOne but I you know me, I just couldn't resist having some fun with the name of the poor things. I'm not sure if I've seen them in the states or not. There is a bird I believe called a Titmouse, do you suppose they're of the same family and if so is the same thing going on over here? It might be interesting to find out.

The Great Tit is of the Genus Parus and is allied to your Chickadees. The Tufted Titmouse is indeed a cousin of the same Genus.

The Great Tit and Blue Tit in England have long been the butt of coarse jest. For example; 'oh, what a great pair of Blue Tits', or; 'can you see those Great Tits', etc.

Possibly, but Who doesn't like boobies ? (with a possibly NSFW X-Men pic at bottom)

Whoa!

Do boobies cope well with warming, too?

Personally, I certainly hope so!
