How to Identify a Brown Creeper Bird

By eHow Hobbies, Games & Toys Editor

Instructions

Step 1:
Listen for the distinctive sound of the brown creeper bird. The song is a high, light, quick succession of notes that is pleasing to the ear, sounding like see-see-see-see. The bird's call is slightly different, sounding like see-see-ti-ti-see.
Step 2:
Identify the bird's markings if you can catch sight of him for long enough. He will be busy blending in with the trees for protection. The brown creeper is a small, brown bird with white markings on top and a white underside. He also bears a white mark over his eyes.
Step 3:
Look at the bird's beak. Brown creepers have long, thin bills, great for seeking out their next meal from the tree bark.
Step 4:
Try to determine the sex of the bird you are watching, but good luck! Brown creeper males and females look very similar, with the male winning out with a body only slightly larger and a beak that is a little longer than the female.

Tips & Warnings

You can actually hear the brown creeper's call on the Whatbird website, and view a U.S. map of areas and times of year that the bird can be found.
