I found a pair of Brown Creepers building a nest in Crosby Farm Park, St.
Paul, on 5/10/1998. On 6/7/1998 I watched as the pair made repeated visits
to the nest with food. I reported this, with a photograph, to the MOU, and
it was included as a new nesting record for Ramsey County in The Loon, Vol
71, Number 1.

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!)
