For those who enjoy checking out the ponds in northern Montgomery County, I found another one (sort of). A new erosion control pond has been created on Dover Road, south of East Gude (directions: North on 355 from Rockville, east (right) on E. Gude, right on Dover Rd.). I presume the pond is related to the new construction on the corner of E. Gude and Dover. Yesterday when I went to pick up my car at the mechanics, I found at the new pond 2 Killdeer and 2 Solitary Sandpipers. An Indigo Bunting was in the tangle across from the pond.
