A small Brown Creeper eyes the way onward and upward with the hopes of finding a small grub along the sloping landscape of a cottonwood tree.

We have a similar bird, a treecreeper, that is one of my favourites. They have a great silhouette. I had not registered how white their undersides were until I saw your picture. It’s never easy to get up close to them. Ours is Certhia familiaris. It surprised me to read on the link you provided that yours only needs 4-10 calories a day!

One of my favorite birds to watch.

Wonderful how the flecks of the creeper’s feathers resemble the tree bark in miniature: a portrait of scaling. What a nice way to start my day, thank you.
