CREEPER - A Brown Creeper (Certhia americana), also known as the American treecreeper, forages among crevices in the bark on a maple tree trunk. Creepers mainly eat small arthropods found in the bark, but sometimes eat seeds in winter.  Brown Creepers show up in our yard in winter from their breeding habitat - mature conifer forests in Canada.

Do you only see them in the winter? Maybe I am in their northern habitat, because I feel like I see them year round wayyyyy up here in central VT. I love to watch them go face first down the side of a tree when they are foraging!
