I've never seen them in mixed flocks of anything...but then again I never see kinglets or chickadees in flocks either haha. Only ever one at a time. Creepers are such a treat to find though! Lovely shot :)

Thanks Jacob, they always land at the bottom of the tree and spiral up... always. They are usually in mixed flocks of Chickadees and Kinglets. Good luck!
