Thank you Pelle and Duc. Creepers are winter visitors here. This one was in a partially flooded thicket beside the river. I had to follow it from tree to tree until I finally got the one shot. Boots were a neccessity. There seemed to be a lot of woodpeckers, sapsuckers and ruby-crowned kinglets in the same thicket. I did get a glimse of a pilleated woodpecker but still no pic. The creepers seem to move about as fast as the kinglets. I did get a few shots of empty trees and branches. The winter goldfinches have finally been pushed south by the cold. I am spending more for bird feed than for my own food. I get home from work and find empty feeders that I know I filled that morning. The Purple finches are not here in the numbers they were last year. I have only seen one male so far.
