That has also been my observation. We have several large white ash
trees, one of which has the suet feeder and the creepers have yet to
use the feeder. One day we had two of them, nd neither one took so much
as a look at it. Our suet feeder hangs from one of the lower branches,
but the crepes don't seem to spend much time at all on the horizontal
branches, they just stay on the main trunks.

There are a couple of large yellow
birch, on which I have suet feeders. The Creepers seem to just
encounter the suet as they
spiral up the tree. They will feed on the suet for a while, then
continue their spiral. They don't
seem to fly right to the suet.

<excerpt>Hi All, Feb 10, 2008
We normaly see 1-several in the yard per year, usually on the Ash
but sometimes on the Crack Willow or Maples and never on the fat log.
The first for this winter being Friday Feb 8 and it worked a White Ash
for at least 10 minutes.

a Brown Creeper, another first for my yard, though it was more
interested in the white ash and mountain ash trunks than the suet log,
which it came very close to, but seemed unaware of. Have other birders
had them feeding on suet?
