The bird was reported on DE-birds as being present at the Catch54 at 8PM 
last night, so the time for giving up completely has not yet arrived.  
If it is restless enough to be in both places the same day, the chances 
of its straying into Maryland ought to be pretty good.  Of course, its 
chances of being on the state line at any given time are reduced....

I have not seen a description of the Fowler Beach bird, so it isn't 
clear yet whether it might be the same bird.
