memory.   thanks for fixing it.

Subject: Brown Creepers

 

The discovery you referred to, by Diana Doyle, was indeed along Minnehaha 
Creek, but it was a night-roost, not a nest. She found 3 Creepers huddled 
together in the crevice of some pine bark, and returned to the site at 
first-light to photograph them. She brought me there to show me the site.

They do overwinter along the Creek, as we find them there on our CBC. Likewise, 
I find them at Crosby in winter months.

(The only sure nest I've ever found was in MI's Upper Peninsula, though I once 
witnessed what looked like nest activity on the trail to Sand Point in 
Frontenac. With the Mi nest we were able to see the parents bringing food to 
the young. I'd love to have that experience again!)

Linda
