Brown Creeper
The Brown Creeper is a Nuthatch-like song bird, small and slender body, its beak curved slightly downward. It searched for insects and spiders while spiraling up a tree trunk, then making another pass from the bottom up. It winters over in Texas and much of the central and Eastern U.S., and is found year-round in the southern part of Canada, all along Pacific coast from California to Alaska, and in the Rockies as high as 11,000'. The Brown Creeper breeds mostly in mature evergreens and evergreen-deciduous forests. They have a high-pitched, warbling song.
