January Animal: the Bark Bird

December 30th, 2009

Brown Creeper on trunkYes, I know it’s hard to see. Click here to see it larger. This is one of my all time favorite birds, the brown creeper. Talk about camouflage! It looks like bark. It walks on bark. Sometimes it nests on bark that has slightly pulled away from the tree. I photographed this one December 2009, here in Indiana.

I snapped this blue jay photo today, December 11th. Many of our bluejays know how to make a hawk call. This scares away the other birds. Then the bluejays can swoop down and gobble all the seed at the feeders. If you’re still wondering about last month, that was a red squirrel tail.
