I spent the morning in Montgomery County before heading to College  Park.  I 
was surprised that there were not more migrants around.  I  started at 
Sycamore Landing then birded Hughes Hollow where I met Jim  Green.  We hit the polo 
fields and Germantown Soccer Complex before we  split and I went to Clopper 
Lake and Lake Needwood.
