After reading Mike Bowen's postings about Green Farm Conservation 
Park in Gaithersburg, I decided to check it out for myself this 
morning.  As Mike mentioned in his most recent report, I crossed 
paths with him and Joy and Jim Green as they were leaving.  
Although things started off slowly for me, I found a pocket of bird 
activity about halfway between the two ponds, just as the wind died 
down and the sun came out.  I followed a deer trail a short distance 
into the brush and saw the following birds (standing in practically the 
same spot):

Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Tennessee Warbler
Nashville Warbler
Palm Warbler (both yellow and western)
Common Yellowthroat
Eastern Towhee
Song Sparrow
White-throated Sparrow (singing)
Dark-eyed Junco - my first of the season

I also saw a Cooper's Hawk and the usual assortment of chickadees, 
titmice, and cardinals.  Thanks, Mike, for spreading the word about 
this little gem of a park!
