I have tufted titmice(?) at my feeders every day but they're solid grey with a little white just in their tuft.

7. i'm glad you said that

i think mine (tufteds) say the same and their song is quite similar to northern cardinal, who says "purty, purty, purty"

whereas my friend who has studied music insists that the two do not sound anything the same to him!

glad i'm not the only one who hears this phrase in the titmouse song

mine says purty purty purty too

10. Bush tit

The Bushtit is ...gray-brown overall, with a large head, a short neck....

Bushtits are active and gregarious, foraging in cohesive groups of 10 to over 40... Members of the group constantly make contact calls to each other that can be described as a short tsit.

As "plain" Bushtits lack major identifying markings, they are often identified by their shape, calls, and behaviors. Bushtits are the only species of small bird inhabiting the western United States that regularly hang upside-down for extended periods.

Yep, sounds like him.
