A knowledgeable birder had a brief sighting of the species today in
Gambrills, Maryland. Positive ID was made by a combination of the
dull coloration, excessive wing flapping and puffing plus loud,
obnoxious squawking. The sighting is being reported to the Maryland
Avian Society.

Officials from the U.S. Wildlife Service working with members of the
Eastern American Ornithological Society are attempting to determine if
the bird is a true waterfowl species. Thus far, the only confirmed
sightings have been along the shorelines where, from the safety of
land, the Krausii Marylandus squawks incessantly at the true waterfowl
species. Since Tuesday’s sighting, experienced birders are rushing to
Gambrills, Maryland in an effort to gather additional data on the
reclusive species. Story developing. Updates to follow.

There has been another confirmed nesting in Calvert County. It has a
huge 6'2" wingspan. It's deification has become a real nuisance. Efforts
are underway to capture this bird and relocate it to Costa Rica or
Argentina where it will be in more natural surroundings for the species.
