T-Shirt Tuesday: Cutie PaTUTI

Do you know what TUTI means? It is the four-letter code used by birders and bird banders for the Tufted Titmouse, one of the cutest birds found in Canada and the United States and a common backyard feeder bird. This adorable titmouse design is a sort of inside-joke for birders in the know and a unique way to spell "Cutie Patootie". So next time you encounter a Tufted Titmouse in the field or in your yard, you can call it a Cutie PaTUTI.
