Brown Creeper (Certhia americana)
- HABITAT - Brown Creepers are well camouflaged against tree bark in the shade of the forest. The Brown Creeper prefers forests with many large live trees for foraging and loose-barked dead trees for nesting.
- DIET - Brown creepers mainly eat spiders, larvae and insects, sometimes eating nuts, seeds and vegetable matter during winter
- FACTS - They glean, probe, and peck at the trunk with their long, downcurved bills. Starting near the bottom of the trunk, we watched them work their way up the tree to within several feet of the top, then fly to the bottom of another tree to begin again.
