[va-richmond-general] Re: winter flock observation

Leanna,

We have seen that happening frequently in the winter months. The creepers have 
their own agenda though - they go from the top of one tree to the bottom of the 
next and up top again, staying on the main trunk usually. The nuthatches, 
titmice and chicadees jump from trees to feeders (both seed and suet) to trees 
and all over the place, and are not bashful. They especially like little 
up-facing holes in trees that hold water. But all of these birds may be in the 
same general area at the same time. Sometimes Eastern Bluebirds and 
Downy/Red-bellied Woodpeckers get into the act too.

  Looking out my window I saw a Brown Creeper apparently flocking with a White 
breasted nuthatch, bluebirds, some sparrows, and a few juncos.
  They flew in and flew out of my yard in just a few minutes, but it was a nice 
observation nonetheless. I was unaware that
  the creeper and nuthatch flocked with roving winter groups.
