I was just fascinated by the way they were able to stand upside down on the tree.

I was actually trying to memorize some of them, but now I don't know any. I do remember hearing sounds like that though. So, white-breasted nuthatch it is!

They would both be that size. The light underside makes me think white-breasted nuthatch. Were they making a noise "ank, ank, ank" that sounds something like a busy signal on a phone? That would clinch it. The shape doesn't say brown creeper to me and they are more secretive anyway.Sharkbytes (TM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08379841586422814410noreply@blogger.com
