Ground Tit

The Ground Tit, Tibetan Ground-tit or Hume's Ground-tit (Pseudopodoces humilis) is a lark-like bird which lives to the north of the Himalayas. It is also known as Hume's Groundpecker. It was formerly thought to belong to the family Corvidae which includes the crows and jays and was called as the Hume's Ground Jay or Tibetan Ground Jay. This species has since been identified as a member of the tit family (Paridae) and is the only species in the genus Pseudopodoces.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:

    One need not be a great beau, a seductive catch, to do it effectively. Any man is better than none. To shrink from giving so much happiness at such small expense, to evade the business on the ground that it has hazards—this is the act of a puling and tacky fellow.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
