Hi Ed:
I'll copy your message to our local Maryland birding listserver in
case someone else has some other advice (reply directly to Ed).
FYI. Here is a link that deals with bird rehabilitators in Maryland ...
http://www.mdbirds.org/conservation/rehab/rehab.html
... and here is a link for reporting banded birds ...

Hope this helps.
Phil
