Short-toed Treecreeper
Fairly common but inconspicuous (blends well with bark) in woods, forests,and
gardens with larger trees. Usually seen as singles or pairs, creeping along trunks and
branches using its tail for support, like a mini woodpecker.Propes in crevices for insects
and spiders, and often spirals up then drops to low on the next tree and spirals up again.
In areas where Tree Creepers occurs, the two species are often not safely distinguished without considerable experience .
