Folks

I am still working on the big year fund raising event for the Breeding Bird Atlas.  The current 2004 year county list is holding at 214.  The following is a list of species not yet found during 2004 in Charles County.  These species could still be found and is not that far fetched.    

301-843-3524 home, 301-752-8240 cellphone.  I appreciate help on finding any of the following:

Great Cormorant - Potomac River fly by at Cobb Island - checking today
Eared Grebe - rivers and larger lakes - travels with Horned Grebes
Brown Pelican - rivers - Cobb Island
Greater White-fronted Goose - fly by or on the rivers/fields with Canada's
Brant - fly by or on the rivers/fields with Canada's
Eurasian Wigeon - fly by or on the rivers - Mattawomen w/ American Wigeons
Northern Goshawk - fly by 
Peregrine Falcon - fly by or in thermals 
Golden Eagle - fly by or landfill/thermals with Bald Eagle
King Rail - in the marshes
Virginia Rail - in the marshes - this is dumb since I did not check Allen's Fresh during nesting season
Sora - in the marshes
American Golden Plover - turf farm or dirt fields
Rudy Turnstone - rock jetty at Cobb Island, Morgantown pier
Common Moorhen - in the marshes
Western Sandpiper - mud flats or dirt fields after a rain event
White-rumped Sandpiper - mud flats or dirt fields after a rain event
American Golden Plover - mud flats or dirt fields after a rain event
Long-billed Dowitcher - Allen's Fresh or Benedict marshes or flooded field
Any Phalarope - any pond or on the rivers
Western Kingbird - usually a one hour wonder but large open fields along river courses like Indian Creek
Orange-crowned Warbler - could be anywhere but may be traveling with large flocks of Myrtles
Cape May Warbler - is know to come into suet feeders in winter - keep your eyes open
Clay-colored Sparrow - weedy fields
Lapland Longspur - travels with Horned Larks - in dirt fields
Snow Bunting - same as Longspurs
Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow - wet weedy fields
Harris' Sparrow - dry weedy fields but could come to a feeder area
Common Redpoll - feeder bird or in evergreens with other finches - this maybe the winter for a few

If something even more unusual like Sanderling, a late Blackburnian Warbler feeding at your suet, a hummingbird shows, also let me know.  Thanks in advance for the help.
