Just wanted to point out that eBird is a great tool for finding 
locations of birds reported on this list. What I do is bookmark the 
eBird version of the Maryland bar chart (you can navigate to this 
yourself by clicking on the "view and explore data"  tab at eBird.org):

 http://ebird.org/ebird/GuideMe?reportType=location&bMonth=01&bYear=1900&eMonth=12&eYear=2009&parentState=US-MD&countries=US&states=US-MD&getLocations=states&continue.x=27&continue.y=11&continue=t

Then, when I want to find the location of a recently spotted bird, I 
click on the species name. This takes you to a map of Maryland showing 
all sightings. I then look for the yellow balloons (indicating a 
sighting within the last 30 days), and click on the balloon to get 
detailed information about the sighting and verify it is the location 
I'm looking for. You can then zoom in to street level, using either 
street map, satellite, or hybrid views, to see the exact location of the 
report.

Of course, the more people who report their sightings to eBird, the more 
useful it will be for this and other purposes.

Good birding!

At first it was on the east side of the creek next to the edge of the marsh, then it moved to some goldenrods just west of the stream near the same location. This afternoon at about 3:30 it was refound  near the curve by the pond near the tennis courts.
