Haha almost all pics of the Brown Creeper are exactly like that, at the side of the tree facing up. That's awesome! 
I see them out here in Meadowvale at Lake Aquitaine and Lake Wabukayne. Will have to pull out some old nature binders to see the dates! Used to see them at Sawmill Valley trail (NE corner of Burnhamthorpe/Erin Mills Pkwy) many years ago.
Two years ago I lived near Milton and visited Lake Aquitaine a few times and never noticed any thing other that gulls. Back then I mountain biked and was moving too fast to see anything.
However, yesterday I saw another one! Cheers
