The Brown Creeper has to be one of the most cryptic of our local residents. I have yet to spot one on my own. On the rare occasions when I have seen it, someone else found it for me. My response tended to be: “Huh? Where? I don’t see anything.”
The bird inhabits forests with many large live trees, which it scours for insects. That it blends in with the tree bark is a given.
“There is nothing to see here folks, I am just another bit of tree bark.”
