Brown Creeper Bringing Food to the Nest

Description

Brown Creepers (Certhia americana) at Lassen Volcanic National Park were found bringing food to their nest. I didn't see the nest at first and the birds were flying around me and vocalizing, flying from tree to tree and climbing, then flying near me and chirping at me. I finally figured out that I was near the nest opening and backed off to where they could get in to feed their young. You can see the adults going into the top of the nest opening and a few seconds later, coming out another adjacent opening lower between the bark. At the end of the video, I show you the actual entrance from the side where the adults are accessing the nest.
