All:

Marshall had the Silver Gull at Brown Station Road landfill in Upper 
Marlboro, MD. The dates were 30 Nov - 4 Dec 2000.

Remember, you can always check the MD/DCRC abridged (not all of the fields 
are shown) database at ...

Do a find for "Silver Gull" and it will take you to the record.

There was also a sighting a few years before at Scientist's Cliffs in 
Calvert County. It was apparently video taped, but despite being 
persistent, we were not able to get a copy of the video tape, so it remains 
as a undocumented sighting.

Stan, I did not know about your Jug Bay sighting ...
