Jeepers Creepers

Meet the Brown Creeper, a year-round resident of Maine, who creeps up tree trunks, not down, looking for insects. They fly from tree to tree starting at the bottom, and utilize their camouflage coloring to defend against predators by spreading flat on a tree without moving. In winter they eat nuts and seeds • Unfortunately, I have met some “creepers” in my lifetime but this is the first Brown Creeper I’ve seen.
