TN-birders,
I just looked up Oby Blevins Road in Fentress County and it appears to be
slightly further north (about 5 minutes latitude, placing the sighting at the
very beginning of that road, since I don’t know where the nesting record was)
than the Brown-headed Nuthatches that are currently at Cove Lake. These little
cuties seem to be continually working their way northward. Not sure why. Maybe
the availability of pine habitat or global warming???
Great birding,
Ron Hoff

Another contender for TN's northern-most Brown-headed Nuthatch
would be the Apr 2008 nesting record from Fentress Co. It was reported
on Oby Blevins Rd. I don't know what part of Fentress Co that is.

NO!
A few years ago Ed Manus and I had at Brown-headed Nuthatch at Anderson
County Park during the Christmas Bird Count. This park is at the north end of
a peninsula jutting into Norris Lake. The opposite, north side of the lake is
Campbell County. I thought at that time that it was a candidate for the
northern-most state record. I studied maps today and Cove Lake is a couple
miles north of the site where the nuthatch was observed on the Norris CBC.
