	FORAGING ECOLOGY OF BROWN CREEPERS IN A MIXED-CONIFEROUS FOREST (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Brown Creepers were relatively generalized with respect to tree species use as indicated by the high proportional similarity value (0.89) and not as generalized in tree height selection (PSI = 0.77), preferring tall trees.
		Foraging behavior of Brown Creepers also may be influenced by in- teractions with numerous sympatric species foraging on the same trees and in similar portions of the trees.
		SUMMARY Brown Creeper (Certhia americana) foraging ecology was examined during the 1973 and 1974 breeding seasons in a mixed-coniferous forest, White Mountains, Arizona.

		CREEPER [creeper] common name for members of a family of small, inconspicuous birds related to wrens and nuthatches.
		A creeper spirals up a tree trunk using its long, stiff tail as a prop and searches out minute insects with its long, downward-curved beak; it then swoops to the base of another tree to begin again.
		Creepers are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Passeriformes, family Certhiidae.

		In the winter months, the Brown Creeper is not unfrequently seen in orchards, and at a short distance from farm-houses; but in the breeding season it retires to the interior of the forests.
