I birded Thursday morning, September 18, at Green Farm Conservation 
Park just north of the Montgomery County Airpark off Snouffer School Rd.

Most interesting birds were a juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker (by far 
the youngest individual of this species I've ever seen) in a big dead 
tree near the upper pond and a Pied-billed Grebe in the lower 
pond.  I also had a few pockets of warblers of 7 species here and 
there; most noteworthy of these was a female Prairie Warbler.

This location, also (and maybe more correctly) called "Lois Green 
Conservation Park," will be featured in the Montgomery Bird Club's 
updated "where to bird in MoCo" guide that it being readied for 
publication before the end of this year.  Mark England has already 
written an informative chapter for this book, describing birding 
opportunities there.  There is an interesting mix of habitats and the 
place should be excellent for sparrows in the fall.

If you want to know how to get there, it's a little complicated so 
please contact me off-line.
