They are indeed birds.  However, I thought Kyle had photographed penduline 
tits, but upon checking the standard references (Sibley, e.g.) I find that 
the  North American representatives of this family are found only in the 
deserts of the southwestern U.S.

For a mostly serious discussion of the avian family and the name, see:
