Certhia americana
Order: Passeriformes
Family: Certhiidae (Treecreepers)
This attractive little brown bird creeps up tree trunks and large limbs often in a spiral pattern. Its eyes are very forward facing; it spies tiny grubs and other insects in the crevices of bark and uses its slender, curved bill to pull them out.
