We are pleased to announce the winner of our Monday Nature Mystery, Elise Milstein!

Congratulations to Elise for correctly identifying the call note of the Brown Creeper (Certhia americana). You can listen to the audio mystery here. According to our good friends at All About Birds, “Brown Creepers are a tiny bird with an affinity for big trees!” Unlike White-breasted Nuthatches who work their way down tree trunks, Brown Creepers work their way up foraging for insects along the way. During intense cold snaps or inclement weather they may eat suet or sunflower seeds.

Each Monday we’ll post a new mystery and identify the previous week’s winner. They’ll receive an ASNV hat or tote bag. 

Here is this week’s mystery. Who made these holes in an American Holly?

Be sure to post your guess on our Facebook page when you see the post on Monday. Good Luck!

Please note that all entries are date and time-stamped. We review each correct answer to see who commented first. If someone 'likes' your comment, it would move it up on the list, making it look like the first post. Winners are limited to one prize every 90 days.
