A brown creeper
I'm quite sure I never noticed any brown creepers before now, although they're apparently quite common birds. But in my birding lab a couple of weeks, we heard one, and glimpsed its behavior, and our instructor described it for us, and I reviewed 'Brown Creeper' in my apps and online guides later.
So, I was thrilled on a morning walk in the Garden to see (and identify) a brown creeper, working its way up the trunk of a large white oak, poking under the flaky bark for insects and insect larvae.
How exciting!
Addendum:
And Janet is quite right: Randy has great pictures of a Brown Creeper in his garden.
