Brown Creeper in Downtown Columbia

["Bob Wood" <bobwood@ix.netcom.com>]

Walking back to a lawyer's office in downtown Columbia yesterday after a
break in a depostion I saw a Brown Creeper crash twice against the side of a
glass-walled building. He then flew over to an oak tree and assumed his
standard uphill, creeper-like position. I've never seen a creeper downtown
(literally 50' off of Main Street), and I don't recall ever having seen one
on anything other than a pine tree. I think he was lost and a little out of
whack. I stepped to within 10' of him for a quick non-binocular glimpse
before I left him alone. Neat to see, but I felt sorry for the little guy.
