Tufted Titmouse

As I was stuck in the house again still recuperating from surgery, I thought I would continue with the lose a letter challenge that started with the word startling.


Here's the progression so far ......
Startling ..... lose the L to get
Starting ..... lose the 2nd T to get
Staring ..... lose the A to get 
String ..... lose the R to get
Sting ..... lose the T to get
Sing ..... lose the G to get
Sin ..... lose the S to get
In.
