BROWN CREEPER. The favorite haunt of the 



Creeper was Pine saplings 

 on the trunks of which they would travel up and down 

 in search for food. The picture was taken while one 



Brown Creeper 



was engaged in this pursuit. It observed a Creeper 

 going down a tree trunk for several inches, head fore- 

 most. This, I think, is most unusual. The Creepers 

 were very tame. When feeding on the trunks of trees 

 they were often observed to lift the tail.
