Not that kind of a creeper! This is a friendly little guy who creeps up (but not down) trees and eats the insects hiding in the bark. When he gets to the top, he flies to the base of another tree and starts working his way up again.
Here's a close up of him. He's a brown creeper - Certhia americana.
Brown creepers are notorious for blending in well with tree bark they spiral up trees looking for their three squares a day. Their bills have a slight curve to them, and they use their tails to lean on when working the bark.
