Atlantic Flyway Pintail Project
Maryland Migration Maps

We want to provide you with the latest information learned as we collect and analyze the satellite data for the marked pintails. We will post information weekly, or as the data become available. These maps will show current locations for all of the marked pintails captured in Chesapeake Bay, as well as those originating in the other states. Narratives describe where the birds are located and other general information. Check back often to travel with the pintails through the seasons.
