Liz, Two corrections to your post. 1). There are NO Brown-headed Nuthatches at Carver's Gap or elsewhere on Roan Mtn. You must mean RED-BREASTED Nuthatch, which is common in the spruce - fir forest on Roan. 2). Carver's Gap & the rest of the Roan Mtn highlands are in National Forests (Cherokee in TN & Pisgah in NC) and are NOT part of Roan Mtn. State Park, which is located at the foot of Roan Mtn. (This is a common mistake.) Hope this clarifies matters.
