Taxonomic Comments
Formerly in genus parus; transferred to baeolophus by AOU (1997). Subspecies wollweberi and phillipsi exhibit a low level of genetic divergence (Gill and Slikas 1992). See Sheldon et al. (1992) for DNA-DNA hybridization evidence of phylogenetic relationships among major lineages of parus.

Ecology & Habitat

Habitat

Oak woodland and pine-oak association, occasionally also in cottonwood-willow-mesquite habitat, in winter also in riparian woodland (Subtropical and lower Temperate zones) (AOU 1983). Nests in natural cavities in trees or stumps, 1-9 m above ground (Terres 1980).

Ecology

Forms small flocks in fall.

Reproduction

Clutch size usually 5-7.
