Distinctive in habits and morphology, the Brown Creeper is a small, well-camouflaged bird of woodlands. It creeps along tree trunks, spiraling upward, picking invertebrates from the bark with its curved and pointed bill.
Song is a musical phrase of four to nine high clear notes, varying by region and from individual to individual. Call a very high-pitched "seee."
