I know the brown creeper and find them endlessly amusing to watch. But getting a photograph of one when they are a constantly moving is nearly impossible, and getting the bit of food in its bill makes this supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Hi jet and thanks. We were luck in that this bird spent quite a bit more time on this tree than we usually find a creeper to do. We were able to shoot away until we got this luck shot. They are so much fun to observe and as you mention a little bundle of energy in action. Wishing you a fine weekend.

They are fun to have and compliment the little nuthatches by going up the tree as the nuthatches go down. Hope your weekend is going well.

HI and that is pretty cool to be able to see these birds in the urban environment. Are they a common sight in central park?

Creapers aren’t prolific, but common enough if you keep your eyes open. They blend in and move fast.

Hi Sherry, they do seem to never stop moving.

That is a fantastic shot – never seen a creeper. Plenty of creeps, though…😀

I am not sure why they are called creeper as they are always in constant and quick motion. Not exactly creeping about but perhaps I need to refresh myself as to the definition of creep. Hope your doing well and have a wonderful weekend.

Hi and thanks, we were lucky that this little bird spent quite a bit of time on this single tree so we could shoot away and get that lucky shot.

I love these, Mike, and am finally starting to recognize their high-pitched call. I think I have missed them many times. Your photo is lovely.
Best,

Hi Tanja, I am quite certain I have missed them as well they are sometimes so well hidden by their plumage matching the bark of tree they probably could be right in front of my nose sometimes and I might not seem them. Hope your weekend is fine and full of fun.
