What an interesting little bird? It almost looks like those parts shouldn't go together- Its feet are huge compared to its body and the curving bill is longer than its head. I was lucky enough to have this feathery sprite land our our giant bur oak tree. Megan and I were standing in the Kitchen when it flew onto the trunk and slowly made its way up, investigating the furrows of the oak bark.
As it climbed upward, I went upward as well, to our our upstairs bathroom. I followed it as it ascended up and directly over my head. I had removed the screen of our bathroom window and stuck my head and camera out the window.
I found myself pointing the camera straight up for the last shot. And as quickly as it came, with a few squeaks, it was gone.

P.S. 24 days and counting! Wow!~
It really blends in with the tree- cool!
ReplyDeleteI could hardly tell it from the tree! don't fall out the window trying to get a good shot! Neat pictures! I wonder what he was looking so intently, for?
ReplyDeleteMom
He/She was looking for bugs!
ReplyDeleteLove the camouflage evident in the first shot!
ReplyDeleteAwesome camoflauge, as others have said!
ReplyDeleteA cute bird with great camouflage :-)
ReplyDeleteCountry- thanks, yes, amazing camouflage is right!
ReplyDeleteLana- I wonder if you have brown creepers down your way?
Ivar- Same question to you!? I wonder if there is a European creeper?
well that is a camouflage artist
ReplyDeleteIncredible captures of the Brown Creeper Tom!! I love those little guys. I usually hear them way before I see them. Lucky for you he came right to your tree and you have a two story house ;-)
ReplyDeleteLucky for us too. We get to see a Brown Creeper really close up!
