If Brown-headed Nuthatches haven't naturally recolonized Missouri since
disappearing 100 years ago, with nearby populations in Arkansas, despite
the recent restoration of habitat to "fill in," couldn't it be just as
likely for this westward individual to be from Missouri? Ebird maps don't
show
Hi Cobirders,
Because Dispersal is a function to spread genes and increase diversity, I
would expect the source of wandering birds to not be from areas which are
newly "colonized".
Missouri's reintroduced birds did breed successfully, and there is abundant
habitat to "fill in" within a few
I believe it was determined that all the birds reintroduced in Missouri
were banded, and this one isn't. But I suppose it could be an offspring to
them if those birds successfully bred and the young weren't banded.

Brown-headed Nuthatch was re-introduced last year in the Ozarks in
Missouri. Possibly this is a wandering member of that population.
