brown creeper
i’m not a big bird person, but these guys are really neat! they climb up trees in a funky way, i thought it was a giant spider when i first saw it. they’re pretty hard to get pictures of since they’re small and fast. they also blend in well with trees.

BOTD: Brown Creeper
Photo: Tom Murray
"Looking like a piece of bark come to life, the Brown Creeper crawls up trunks of trees, ferreting out insect eggs and other morsels missed by more active birds. It is easily overlooked until its thin, reedy call gives it away. Reaching the top of one tree, it flutters down to the base of another to begin spiraling up again. Creepers even place their nests against tree trunks, tucked under loose slabs of bark, where they are very difficult to find."
- Audubon Field Guide

A Brown Creeper earns its name, slinking along a maple; hard to notice, though common everywhere in Midwestern forests.
