My wife mentioned the Brown Creeper was out on the deck and a suet feeder this afternoon. A first for us 2 have been with us regularly since Christmas. In his Trib column a couple weeks ago Jim Williams mentioned, they would visit southern Minnesota in the winter months and spent most of the year north. I'm certain my first look at one was last summer. Our property (rural) is on the Cobb river valley wooded for the most part by Oak, Black walnut, Basswood, Cottonwood, and Ironwood. Could Brown Creepers be resident this far south?
