While the nuthatches and chickadees visit the spruce trees in droves each winter we typically see only one or maybe two Brown Creepers busy foraging in the trees. We suspect they are after the seed that the nuthatches have just hidden.
Easy pickings or are they still searching for insects?

Wonderful capture! I love the Creeper’s bill, so precisely shaped for all things tucked in the bark.

Hi Ellen, we liken the Creepers bill to a fine surgical instrument.

Brown Creepers are one of our favorites. Unlike the other birds that mix together in a flock in the winter we usually on ly see one or two at a time.
