The Yellowbook suggests that buffies are seen in Maryland between
August 7 and October 15, but with the greatest number being spotted
the last week of August right through the end of September.

In 1998, Fran and I saw BBSA on September 13 along John Brown Road,
about a week after Marshall had gone on his buffy marathon search around 
the Eastern Shore.

It might be interesting to look back and see when buffies appeared
on Hart-Miller Island but it's a lot easier just to ask Gene Scarpula
what the best dates are there.

Good luck with the search for them this year!

Best,
Norm
