. The popular natural history . Zoology. COMMON TREE CREEPER. 299 pointed, and curved, and the tail-feathers are stiff and pointed at their extre- mities. The food of the Creeper consists chiefly of insects, although the bird will sometimes vary its diet by seeds and other vegetable substances. Vhe insects on which it feeds live principally under the bark of various rough-skinned trees, and when it is engaged in running after its food, it runs spirally up the trunk with wonderful ease and celerity, probing every crevice with ready adroitness, its whole frame instinct with sparkling eagerness, and its little black eyes glancing with the exuberance of its delight. While running on the side of the tree which is nearest to the spectator, it presents a very curious appearance, as its dark-brown back and quick tripping move- ments give it a great resemblance to a mouse, and ever and anon, as it comes again into sight from the opposite side of the trunk, its beautifully white breast gleams suddenly in contrast with the sombre-coloured bark. Its eyes are wonderfully keen, as it will discern insects of so mi- nute a form that the human eye can hardly perceive them, and it seems to possess some instinctive mode of detect- ing the presence of its insect prey beneath moss or lichens, and will perseveringly bore through the substance in which they are hidden, never failing to secure them at last. The Creeper is a very timid bird, and if it is alarmed at the sight of a human being, it will either fly off to a dis- tant tree, or will quietly slip round the trunk of the tree on which it is running, and keep itself carefully out of sight. It soon, however, gains confidence, and, provided that the spectator remains per- fectly quiet, the little head and white lareast may soon be seen peering anxiously round the trunk, and in a few minutes the bird will resume its progress upon the tree, and run cheerily up the bark, accompanying itself with its faint trilling song. It seldom attemp
