brown creeper

Managed to get a portrait shot when it landed on a tree fairly close to me.

Here's another oddity. This morning this Brown Creeper kept creeping DOWN the tree. At first I thought it was a nuthatch, it was moving in a very Nuthatch way. I thought it very unusual for a creeper to travel like that, I have never seen one do this before. I have on occasion seen them stay in...

I throw sunflower seeds on this stump. It decided to take a look in case any tidbits remained.

Hope you guys aren't bored with Brown Creeper shots yet.

Caught this one in a relatively rare pose for these birds. It paused atop this cut off trunk for a few moments, looking a bit confused, as if it was thinking, "Hey, where'd the rest of the tree go?"

Have 3 or 4 of these little fellas that drop by a couple times a week. They will often dine on peanut butter I spread here and there. This day had all four here but only managed a few shots before they left. It's always a treat to see them. I find these birds to be really cute.

Looking like a bit of detached bark spiraling up the tree trunk using its stiff tail for support, this cryptic species searches for spiders and other insects using its curved bill like tweezers. Formerly lumped with the similar Eurasian Treecreeper, genetic and vocal studies have shown that it...

This cutie dropped by again. Any time it does I grab the camera!

I was outside when this cute little bird landed on and started inspecting a tree not far from me. The light was a little better this time and I think this shot is better and clearer than my last one.

These birds will occasionally show up in my yard. But it always seems to be in early morning or late afternoon or on an overcast day when the light sucks. Not good when I'm trying to get a shot of it with a small superzoom. This fella was skipping around on a large tree in my yard for about half...

I watched this Brown Creeper pull a peanut piece from some lichen. A nuthatch had placed it there not long before. The creeper might have thought this was a bug, maybe a hard shelled beetle or something. It manipulated it around in its beak for a few moments as if trying to make up its mind if...

Had four of them in the yard a few days ago. They drop by now and then for a bit of peanut butter.

Brown Creeper Brown Creepers are tiny yet lanky songbirds. They have long, spine-tipped tails, slim bodies, and slender, decurved bills.

We hadn't seen a Tree Creeper in our garden for several years, so it was great to see one so easily and get some good photos!

These little fellows are learning. I will see them skipping around on the large ash tree in our yard, so I will go out with some peanut butter, smear some on the trunk, and step back. They then zip around from behind the trunk, and start snacking. They are allowing me to be quite close, here I...

As long as these little fellows will tolerate me, I am going to keep snapping!

We're having very cold temps right now, and I think this little guy appreciates finding a patch of peanut butter smeared on a tree trunk here and there.

Four of them are still coming into my yard almost every day. I'm still taking photos of them every time, lol! a TTW shot.

Now have 4 of these cute birds coming to my yard every day. They come to snack on peanut butter, which I happily provide, smearing it on the trunk of their favorite tree, a large ash in our front yard. (However, this one is on our oak). Problem is, I may be taking a LOT of photos of them over...

Had three of them on an ash tree in my yard this morning. This one, along with several chickadees scattered around the yard, had turned into statues. They were totally motionless, allowing me to get quite close to this fellow. I suspect a hawk must have been nearby. After a few minutes they...

Never liked the name creeper for these cute birds. Creeper sounds a bit menacing to me. It needs a better name, a cuter name. Like Branch Skipper. Or Bark Hopper. Or Tree Kitten.

Actually I don't know a bird that doesn't love it. ;)
