Brown Creeper
Certhia americana
This small tree-climbing bird has a long, stiff tail which lends support as the creeper picks insects from tree bark. It feeds by moving up a tree in a spiraling motion, then flying to a lower point on another tree. The brown creeper is found throughout southern Canada, but is highly camoflaged and difficult to spot.
