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.

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.
