I returned to the Melchor Tract Park for a couple hours this morning. The treeline on the east edge of the park produced Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Hairy Woodpecker, Eastern Bluebird, and Brown Creeper. I was photographing the one Brown Creeper as it went up the tree, but I was really surprised when I saw it fly across to the next tree and work its way back DOWN that tree like a nuthatch would. I had never seen a Creeper go upside-down DOWN a tree before. It spent most of its time on the back side of the trunk, so I only got one photo of it doing that.
Other birds seen there included 4 Field Sparrows, 3 White-throated Sparrows, 2 American Tree Sparrows, and a Chipping Sparrow among 27 Song Sparrows and 12 Dark-eyed Juncos, plus 8 Red-winged Blackbirds and 2 American Goldfinches.
