Brown Creeper

That didn't take long. I'm fairly sure what I saw spiraling up the tree in the Presidio was a Brown Creeper. I guess I just needed a little alone time with the field guide to find it.

Hmm. The Nat. Geo. Field Guide is not calling the parrots by the name conure, though Mark Bittner, author of the Parrots of Telegraph Hill made an issue of pointing out that they were technically conures, even though he continued to call them parrots.
