Brown Creeper

I’m refraining from saying “jeepers creepers,” at least for now. This cool little bird, a Brown Creeper, Certhia americana, - on the Sugar Maple tree in our yard today - was doing less creeping and more hopping and tumbling, Chickadee fashion, than I’ve observed a Creeper do in the past.

Peeking under the bark for food.

As you can see - or not - a Brown Creeper is quite well camouflaged against the bark of a tree.
