I saw one in early March at Roger\u2019s Pond Park (when the park was still open, pre-pandemic closures), and I have seen them in April in the forest on both sides of lower Brown Street on my neighborhood walks. Yesterday, to my surprise and delight, one came and worked the Pines right in front of my photo blind. Still not as close as I would like and no easier to catch as it moved rapidly up the tree trunks, but as close as I have ever seen one (not counting the window stunned creeper we found on the deck one morning last year). Great little bird. I have lots of photos of their near relatives, probably a dozen different species, from Central and South American rain and cloud forests&#8230;but they are much bigger birds and easier to see, since the move in mixed feeding flocks with the bright and vocal tanagers. Our creeper is solitary and mostly silent. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Cropped considerably. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Polarr and Apple Photos. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-13232\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=13232&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-13232\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=13232&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=13232&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brown Creeper, Kennebunk, Maine, USA \u2014 I am seeing a lot of Brown Creepers this spring.
