Brown
Creeper Range Map
The Brown Creeper breeds from southwestern,
central, and southeastern Alaska, central
Alberta, central Manitoba, and Newfoundland south
to southern California, across to extreme western
Texas, southeastern Nebraska, southeastern
Missouri, southern Ontario, eastern Ohio, and
West Virginia; in the Applachians to eastern
Tennessee and western North Carolina; and to the
lowlands of Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. It
also breeds through Mexico into Central America.
Winters generally through the breeding range,
withdrawing from the higher latitudes and
elevations and south throughout the eastern
United States and southern Texas, the Gulf Coast,
and central Florida. The Brown Creeper inhabits
dense coniferous, deciduous, and mixed woodlands,
montane forests, and wooded swamps with standing
dead trees with loose bark. During migration and
in winter, it occurs in open woodlands, scrub
forests, parks, and suburban trees.
