A brown creeper has visited our suet feeder at my home at Lake Harmony twice
this morning that we observed.  It doesn't stay long but is and interesting
bird to watch.  

I have seen more of these in the last year that ever before.  Partly because
I am now more sensitized to their call and habitat.  In South Chagrin Res.
near my work I have found a spot where I can usually find one or more each
time I walk.

I have yet to get a good look at one in flight and observe the band of color
along the wing.  When they are sitting on a tree trunk they are almost
invisible.  I took a picture of one and it still challanges me to find the
bird against the bark.

The sound of singing is a welcome addition to the cold.  The Nuthatch,
Cardinals (many), Chickadee, Jays, Titmice, Junco, the standard 3
Woodpeckers and squirrel round out the morning visitors.
