Brown Headed Nuthatch at CBEC

This was the first Spring day worthy of the name this year. I went back to the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center to see if I could do as well as yesterday, but it wasn’t to be. Still, I got my first decent look at a Brown Headed Nuthatch, and I saw, but couldn’t photograph, two flocks of Wild Turkeys on the way in to the center.
