Creepers are well camouflaged and unless moving they are difficult to spot.

I second Steve's opinion. Those are super shots. I've tried and tried and can't get them that sharp and clear.

A beautiful series of shots.
In their cloaks of drab browns, they're rather visually boring when compared to most of the other songbirds,
but they are such neat little birds to watch.

Thank you and you miss them if they don't move.

Thanks Nancy...it was patience that paid off. There were a few around so I found a good tree in nice light & then waited an hour for the birds to come to the right spot!

Wonderful shots Scott... I love this little bird, the stealthy climber of the woodlands... mine returned this past week.
