Hi Elda,

eBird comes in really handy in cases like this.  Just:

	1. go to eBird.org, 

	2. click on "view and export data"
	3. click on "range and point maps"
	4. where it says "Species" type in Northern Pintail
	5. under "Date:" use the drop down menu to make the months Feb to Feb, and Years 2012 to 2012
	6. under "Location" put in either Silver Spring, MD or a zipcode.
This will give you a map - probably no Northern Pintails right in Silver Spring, but ZOOM out and you will see more of the State. Click on the points and you'll get the date of observation and name of observer.  Click on the "checklist" and you can get # of birds seen, possibly age/sex, and even comments.


Of course, eBird doesn't replace the knowledge and details provided by countless MDOsprey members, but if you don't get enough responses or want to know about what people not on the listserve have seen, it can be very helpful.

Good Luck!

Subject: [MDOSPREY] Any male Pintail Ducks near Silver Spring?
 

I would love to see a male Northern Pintail Duck.  I noticed some mentioned at Blue Mash.  Does anyone have any idea where I could possibly find one today  or this week?  Thank you.
Elda
