Re: [Maine-birds] Brown Creeper

Hi Bob,

We have creepers that come, frequently, to one of our suet feeders, 6 feet off the ground, on a tree at the edge of the woods. Sometimes they drop to the ground to pick up fallen pieces. We've also had them on the deck floor feeding on seed spilled from deck feeders, although we stopped putting feeders on the deck this year, as there are enough feeders hanging from a stand on the lawn to keep the birds well provisioned and happy.

A female Pileated Woodpecker visits multiple times, daily, at the same suet feeder. The male shows up only occasionally. This past week a couple of Golden-crowned kinglets have been making numerous visits throughout the day. Normally we see than at the feeders only a few times throughout the winter.

For what it's worth!

For the last three days I have had a Brown Creeper coming to a hanging feeder suspended eighteen inches from a window.  It is filled with hulled sunflower seeds, meaties. Only once a day never more. I have never had one come to a feeder before this. Even to the suet feeders. Has anyone else observed this. They are common on the trees in the yard but never on the feeders.
