Ambling in the woods nearby, one of the common voices in this region is that of the Carolina Chickadee. A year-round occupant, easily identifiable, gregarious, and beautiful. They lecture me when the feeders in the back yard need attention and sing to hikers along the trails. Masters of survival under the most brutal conditions, they can find food under the worst circumstances. Members of the Paridae Family that worldwide include 13 Genera and 62 species (Birds of the World). Four Genra and 14 species inhabit North America. These are birds of many faces.

Still working through the Passeriformes, the largest of the Orders. Much to learn. Here going from the largest (Raven) to one of the smallest (Brown Creeper). The Brown Creeper is a singleton in North America. It is small (~13 cm long) and very well camouflaged, so it can be tough to see. One of our common winter birds - people celebrate the arrival of Brown Creepers As the name suggests they creep along tree trunks searching for food - creeping to the top, then flying to the base of the next tree. Wonderful to watch.
