20100331 302 Brown Creeper SERIES.jpg

Ottawa Area

Three images of The Brown Creeper. This is a first for me. I just happened to spot one, then two whilst looking for a Great Horned Owl. They are a most difficult little bird to shoot. They blend in so well with the tree trunks and they are constantly on the move.

Top Image: Side view.


Partial wing-spread. Note how well it blends in.

I like your presentation.I must learn this one.That give a good vision of your work.I like this little companion but so no current in this time.Perhaps a little too little for my old eyes.VV

They certainly are tough to photograph being, as you say, always on the move. But what great shots you got of this little beauty! V
