It's been a while since I have done a Pen & Ink so this little guy took shape this afternoon. Brown Creepers can be found year around but they often are overlooked any time of year because of their inconspicuous presence. Their call is very high pitched and quiet, at times beyond the range of some humans. They quietly go about the business of extracting insects from the cracks of the bark of trees, hitching themselves up and down the trunk in a spiraling manner, usually not disturbed by human presence. They are never seen on the ground and their flight is fairly short as they move from tree to tree. They usually build their nest behind a large piece of loose hanging bark about fifteen to twenty feet off the ground.
