Can any of you people help this student?  Please respond directly to her
rather than to me.  Of course, if you wish to share your response with
the mdosprey and/or marvadel subscribers, I am sure we would be
interested.

I will, of course, direct her to a website that has most, if not all,
Voice of the Naturalist reports from over the winter, as well as many
other hotline reports:  http://www.birdware.com/lists/rba.htm, but I
thought there might be someone out there that could help her more
specifically.

Thanks.

Subject: Red crossbills in MD

Good morning,

My name is Julie Simard, an MSc. student at McGill University, Montreal,
Canada, conducting a study of red crossbill populations in northeastern NA.
I am hoping to collect some specific information regarding red crossbill
sightings noted in rare bird alert reportings across northeastern NA this
winter. I am writing to you in the hopes that you will have the information
I am looking for, or will be able to refer me to someone who may be able to
help me.

I have noticed that red crossbills have been regularly sighted in several
counties in Maryland (ie, Pine Knob Rd, Liberty Reservoir, Harford County,
Prettyboy county). I was wondering if there is additional information
regarding these sightings (and others not mentioned) available. The type of
information I am looking for is as such: stand information (ie. size, age,
composition), how long the birds have been there (if they have stayed in the
area for any length of time or merely flying over), the numbers that are
there, if ANY possible nesting observations have been collected and any
other data available.

I hope that this is not too much to ask, please let me know if this is not
possible or if I need to contact someone else.

Thank you in advance for your help,
Sincerely, 
Julie Simard
