Not in Delaware, admittedly, and about 100 miles South of the Freeberys but equally rather unexpected this early in the season, I had a female Red-breasted Nuthatch this morning at the Glenstone Museum site near Potomac, Montgomery County, Maryland, just West of Washington DC. Only the second record of this species at this site in the five years I have birded there.
Maybe this will be a Red-breasted Nuthatch fall and winter!
