Dear birders, I am in need of some information regarding Greater Scaup in the local (Montgomery County, MD) area. I am interested in participating in a greater scaup conservation study sponsored by the University of CT. Does anyone know of nearby sites where one would be likely to find greater scaup? The only information I have regarding the Montgomery County area is from the MOS Field List of the Birds of Maryland which shows that greater scaup appear in Montgomery County regularly, but not every year. If anyone could provide me with more specific information regarding their appearance (especially location), it would help make the study more productive and I would be most grateful. If anyone missed the post regarding this study (I think it was on [BIRDCHAT]) and would like to volunteer, contact Jonathan Cohen - Jcohen@canr1.cag.uconn.edu. Thanks in adavance for your help. Sincerely, Andy Rabin Rockville, MD andyrab@wam.umd.edu
