A single female barrow's goldeneye was still present in a group of 12 buffleheads just to the east of the Choptank fishing pier Wednesday from 7:30-7:55. At 7:55, a great-black backed gull flew into the group and they all flew to the east, landing near the jetty. Got very clear diagnostic views and will post poor photos later.
