Creeper in the knot.

Jen saw this brown creeper making its way up a mostly dying tree on the bank of the Oswegatchie.

It found this small knot hole and tucked in.  

Its fairly easy to see given that it is the subject in this picture, but were it not for being spotted while moving up the tree we would no idea it was there.
