I agree with Jason and second his recommendation for using eBird. But
there's an even easier way to access eBird info for Montgomery County.
On the Montgomery Bird Club website there's a link to an eBird bar
chart of bird sightings in Montgomery County. Just click on that
link, and then on the "map" link next to the species you are
interested in, and you'll be taken to a map of the county showing
sightings for that species, and you can adjust the date as well. To
access the link just click on the words "Dynamic eBird Bar Chart..."
on the following page:
http://montgomerybirdclub.org/LocalBirds.html
This page also has additional info and links for eBird, and the eBird
google gadget showing recent sightings of unusual birds in the state.

> 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.
