The local equivalent to MDOsprey for that area is Tweeters. You should sign up and ask for suggestions from the local birders or at least follow the messages for a while to see where they are reporting from. I don't have the sign on information at my finger tips, but can find it if you want me to. If you just want to read the list for a while, you can do that at http://www-stat.wharton.upenn.edu/~siler/TWET.html.
