Hi Birders,

Wondering if any Brown Creeper fans out there (how could one not be?) know what is going on when I see three creepers swirling around the tree (normal creeper behavior, I realize) more than feeding. Is it like a pod of whales, working together to make insects emerge from the bark or is it territorial-;adults chasing juveniles off?

I'm fascinated by this bird but some sites leave much info to be desired. They were here regularly prior to nesting then didn't see them for a while and now they are back. Could they have nested close by? If there are creeper experts out there, would love to know more or where to find more in-depth info on this bird. If so, please contact directly.

Thank you!
