They're hard enough to spot. Also Red-breasted Nuthatches, which I've only seen silhouettes of, high in trees. I finally managed to observe a Golden-crowned Kinglet dancing like mad up and down branches. I don't have high hopes for photographing either. I want to get a good photo of a Pileated Woodpecker, but I only seem to see them when I leave the good camera at home.
I'm also struggling stay positive in the wake of the election -- and Christmas cheer isn't helping much. Aside from the religious traditions, a latent meaning of holidays at the darkest time of year* is a reminder that light and color WILL return to the world. And that will happen in 2025 as well. But it's naive to deny things will get worse before they get better.
That's why it's so important to share the things that bring us peace as we steel ourselves for battles ahead of us. Thanks for posting this!
Great shots of that Brown Creeper, they don’t make it easy that’s for sure

Take care of yourself. It’s a tough time.
Thank you. You as well.
Good on you finding finding beauty where you can.

*In the northern hemisphere, at least.
Tupelo honey is popular here.
And I love what you said about dead trees.
Nice images, Thomas. I like the White-breasted Nuthatches and how the walk head-first down the trunk of the tree.
