Brown Creeper

The other morning I spotted four species of woodpecker in the yard before I started my workday.

But the text I sent to Patty read, "Brown Creeper on the peanut butter tree."

Followed by a text with this image:

To which she astutely replied, "that's not a Brown Creeper."

And not it is not.

This is:


On the aforementioned peanut butter tree, taken a couple days later.

When I first spotted the Creeper I went to get the camera. But the Creeper had creeped away. 

And then the Pileated Woodpecker landed on the tree a dozen feet to the right. And there I was all dressed up and ready to go so to speak. So I swung the camera on the tripod and fired away.

Sometimes you get lucky. And thus started the four woodpecker morning.
