That is news to me. According to the A.O.U. Checklist of North American 
Birds, seventh edition, there are the following Titmice:

Bridled Titmouse
Oak Titmouse
Juniper Titmouse
Tufted Titmouse

While there are two groups of the last (Tufted Titmouse and Black-crested 
Titmouse), the former is not named "Eastern" according to the AOU.
