I spent a couple of hrs this morning checking grasspiper spots and one or two other areas in Montgomery County and lower Frederick:
   
  Hughes Rd - the surprisingly dependable molting adult American Golden-Plover is still there
  Hughes Hollow - could only find 1 shorebird, a Solitary Sandpiper
  Patton Turf Farm - three American Golden-Plover (2 adult and one juvenile), c. 100 Killdeer in total
  drying pond on Rte 28 in Frederick (between Parks Mill and Greenfield); juv Pectoral and Semi-Sand, about 5 Least Sand, 2 Killdeer
  Rte 85 turf farm - just one Buff-breasted, one adult American Golden-Plover
   
  Regards
