GinaThe Brown Creeper (Certhia americana) is North America’s only treecreeper. It spirals up tree trunks in search of tiny invertebrates, using its curved bill to probe bark crevices—then swoops to the base of another tree to start again.
Brown Creeper Overview, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology
Brown Creepers are tiny woodland birds with an affinity for the biggest trees they can find. Look for these little, long-tailed scraps of brown and white spiraling up stout trunks and main branches, sometimes passing downward-facing nuthatches along the way. They probe into crevices and pick at loose bark with their slender, downcurved bills, and build their hammock-shaped nests behind peeling flakes of bark. Their piercing calls can make it much easier to find this hard-to-see but common species.
