Up north in Kewadin on Traverse Bay there are lots of creepers. I see them regularly and they always make me happy because they’re so rare down in Ann Arbor 💕

I’m sure you were right. I had a wild cherry tree right outside my kitchen window, which is where I saw the Brown Creepers when I saw them in my yard. It died, was topped and lost all its bark and was used for years as a beautiful support for the cable that all the birdfeeders hung on. It finally fell over this fall. It was the tree I had all my birdfeeders hanging off of and my heart was broken, but it’s turned into a Centerpiece of the yard with animals still feeding off of it. In its place I have a pole which is serviceable but not pretty and I’m not going to see any Creepers on it, I am sure.
Here is a not very great spot of my backyard feeding space.
