This is interesting as this is part of the gradual northward march of BHNUs on the Delmarva. If you look at eBird data, this location is one of the more northerly locations in the interior. They seem to be creeping up along the Chesapeake and Delaware Bay baysides but not so much well inland. There is another report of 2 BHNUs nearby at the Taber State Forest hotspot from June 1, 2025. Possibly the same birds?
Nice find!

Good evening,
Today while participating in the Denton CBC, I found 2 Brown-headed Nuthatch on Saulsbury Creek Rd in southwestern Kent County. The site (right at the state line) is part of Taber State Forest where a tract has been harvested, but many single pines left behind. Also here were 16 Fox Sparrows.
