Brown Creeper in the Hand at BBL's Fall Migration Station

Detailed Description

Brown Creepers, like the one pictured, get their name from the fact that they "creep" up trees looking for insects. At the BBL's Fall Migration Station, these birds seem to utilize the American Holly trees mixed in amongst the shrubby habitat below the powerlines.
