I love these detailed trail/park/whatever birding guides.  It really helps when we want to go to a new place or have limited time to bird somewhere.  Thanks for posting this!

There is a book called (something like) "Guide to Bird Finding in New Jersey" that has this level of detail for all sorts of places up there, and my wife and I found that very handy on a trip to Cape May last year.

Has there been a similar book, or web site, done about Maryland sites?  I have seen good write-ups of some areas, and I have a copy of the Baltimore County guide.  A Maryland state-wide one would be an excellent resource, yes?

Just wondering,
