Had a nice walk at Hughes Hollow in Montgomery County this morning.  Fall 
colors are coming on, but the impoundments continue to get dryer with only 
small areas of water visible in the first Western impoundment.

So the list below from my eBird report has no "water" birds.  Others were 
there this morning as well and may have seen other species.  Before we 
arrived, several folks saw a large flock of Rusty Blackbirds, we only saw 
three.

Plenty of White-crowned Sparrows along the dikes with White-throated, Field, 
Chipping, and Song.  Also a nice adult Red-headed Woodpecker in the woods at 
the south end of the main dike. Otherwise the usual suspects.
