[mou] Brown Creeper

[john nelson]

My wife mentioned the Brown Creeper was out on the deck and a suet  
feeder this afternoon. A first for us 2 have been with us regularly  
since Christmas. In his Trib column a couple weeks ago Jim Williams  
mentioned, they would visit southern Minnesota in the winter months  
and spent most of the year north. I'm certain my first look at one was  
last summer.  Our property (rural) is on the Cobb river valley wooded  
for the most part by Oak, Black walnut, Basswood, Cottonwood, and  
Ironwood. Could Brown Creepers be resident this far south?
