I was standing behind a tree at Delta Ponds this morning trying to get some pictures of an egret when I saw a movement in the tree right in front of me! With my eyes the way they are, I don't always see small things. But there it was, a small bird creeping up the tree, feeding. It must not have noticed me because I was pretty close. I never saw it until I saw movement. It blended in with the tree so well!
I had never seen one like it so when I got home I checked my book for the slightly curved beak and the colors, browns and white with a white breast. The picture and description of the Brown Creeper fit perfectly, even to the tail feathers. Quite a thrill, I had never seen one before!
There is some information about the Brown Creeper in Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Creeper
