Brown creepers are the only treecreepers in North America. They are dark brown above with heavily streaked white markings on the head, shoulders, back and wings. They have a brown stripe through the eye and a white stripe above the eye.
We also saw the race of White-throated Treecreeper which may be split into the Little Treecreeper. On the forest floor we had a family of Chowchilla with large eye rings.
