Brown Headed Nuthatch and More at CBEC

The continuing Snowy Owl hunt led me to Terrapin Nature Park and the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center today. The habitat is perfect, and some owls have been spotted, but it wasn’t my day.
I did get some other very nice birds, however, and my best BH Nuthatch to date.

White Throated Sparrow

A very handsome White Throated Sparrow.

Ruby Crowned Kinglet

I was a little surprised to see this Ruby Crowned Kinglet so late in the year.

Red Bellied Woodpecker

This Red Bellied Woodpecker was foraging at Terrapin.

The Brown Headed Nuthatch usually stays high in the trees, so I was lucky to find this pair excavating a nest hole.

Blue Jay

This Blue Jay appears to be fluffed up against the cold.

Belted Kingfisher

I followed this Belted Kingfisher long enough to get a flight shot.

Bald Eagle
