: I'm sure others will reply, but for the time being, let me just say that Brown-headed Nuthatch & Eastern Bluebird were extirpated from ENP and in the early 80's (I believe), they were reintroduced.
:

The reintroduction actually occurred between 1997 and 2001 with 53 nuthatches and 47 bluebirds. The nuthatches have done much better than the bluebirds since, but it's usually easy to find both around the LPK campground.
