The White-winged Tit (Parus nuchalis) sometimes called the White-naped Tit is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is endemic to India where it is found in dry thorn scrub forest in two disjunct populations, in western India and southern India.
This species is very patchily distributed and has been considered to be vulnerable to extinction especially because of the scarcity of suitable habitats particularly nest cavities made by woodpeckers.
The only pied (black-and-white) tit in India, this species about 13cms, has the wing-coverts, crown, sides of head, chin, throat, a ventral band running down the breast and belly to the vent black. The cheeks below the eye, the ear-coverts and a patch on the nape are white. The wing has white on the outer primaries and the base of the secondaries. The last tertiaries are completely white. The two outer tail feathers are white while the next has the outer web white and the remaining black. The white of the flanks can be suffused with yellow.
These birds are believed to live at very low densities in small numbers. They are shy and are best detected by their calls which have been described as musical whistling notes tee-whi-whi or see pit-pit-pit-pit. They however appear to show high fidelity to favoured sites. Some roost hollows have been observed to have been known to have been used for more than six years. The birds feed on insects and the berries of Salvadora oleiodes. They may also obtain nectar from the flowers of Capparis aphylla and will sometimes visit rainwater puddles to drink.
This species is said to have undergone a rapid population decline in the recent past. The habitat of dense Acacia scrub is severely degraded and fragmented in western India especially due to the collection of old branches with potential nest holes for firewood.

What are you looking at, infidel? Yes, you. You think you’re so grand, so superior, so evolved, that you get the right to loom over the rest of us? Hah. Your words are nothing but static delusions of grandeur. You’re all just cogs in a petty fascist machine. A creature so afflicted; abusing in it all its capacity. Isn’t it ironic that you possess the ability to refine abstract thought into an uncanny aptitude to self-loathe, delude, and demand? Having long forgotten your place in the great schematic of things, you’re now successfully and systematically rendering your own environment uninhabitable. Bravo, petty human, bravo! Why not just self-soothe your collective misery by securing your place in the category of “evolutionary cul-de-sac” along with your ancestral human forms, huh? Ah hah, that’s what I thought. Now, be gone human. Let me groom myself in peace.

A single fish already on his stringer, Robin Robinson is content to catch a midafternoon snooze while riding at anchor in his ferrocement handbuilt catboat and fish the Columbia River. Robinson built the boat himself, and named it "Nancy's Fish Pond", in honor of his wife, who would've preferred to have had the time and money spent on a water feature for their yard.
