Brown Creeper
I was pretty excited when I heard “trees trees beautiful trees” when we were up in the mountains of SE Arizona. It didn’t take long to find the source of the sound; a beautiful Brown Creeper. Even though we were able to get close to this tiny bird getting good photos was a real challenge. They move so quickly along the tree-trunks that they make a difficult target. The dark bark next to that white breast and throat make nailing the exposure challenging as well. I was sure happy to find this shot when I came home, there were quite a few “almost shots” and only a few like this.
