Hi Caitlin,

Brown Creepers are indeed around Seattle now, although I would classify
them as more like uncommon then common, even in appropriate habitat (I
could probably find about ten in a day in Discovery Park). The Discovery
Park birds have fledged young now, which is kind of neat because the young
haven't mastered the trick of staying on the other side of the trunk from
you - you can walk right up to them and get a good look.

By the way, your e-mail address bounced a reply I sent directly to you.
