Tyler just called (8 a.m.) to say he found a male Barrow's Goldeneye at Elms Beach in St. Mary's County. He and two others are participating in the Point Lookout Christmas Bird Count and Tyler made a point to look for this bird, having found it at this same location in the past. He said they saw it from the Elms property but that the bird was in a flock of Common Goldeneye far to the north on pound nets. Anyone interested in chasing this bird should just park in the marked hunter parking lot of the Elms property and walk in (free and open to the public this time of year), looking for a trail that heads north.
Just FYI, Tyler's phone battery was dead and he won't be able to take any calls this morning during the count. He will post more details once he finishes.
