Andy, The best place to find the sort of information you're looking for is the seasons reports from back issues of Maryland Birdlife. I have a full set here and I'll try to dig into it some time this weekend and see what I can find over the past 10 years of so. Please be patient...I have other projects underway too. If you can get access to a full set of MB yourself, let me know, okay? Cheers, Norm Saunders Colesville, MD osprey@ari.net P.S. Thanks for the heads-up on the BIRDCHAT note about the Greater Scaup--I'm about 8 or 9 digest behind over there...sigh. > > Dear birders, > > I am in need of some information regarding Greater Scaup in the > local (Montgomery County, MD) area.
