A Boat-tailed Grackle inland (and in Prince George's County) would be a "reviewable" Maryland species. Boat-taileds are in review category 5B, which is covers certain species "if seen in the Chesapeake Bay north of Anne Arundel and Queen Anne's Counties; or on the Potomac River north of Charles County; or inland". Even though I suppose I know the answer, I have to ask ... did you have happen to take any field notes (as you passed them on the exit ramp). You can find the review list via the URL to the MOS web site and the MD/DC Records Committee pages, below Thanks !!!
