Lou  DeMouy, Stephanie Lovell, and I spent a pleasant morning on 
10/16 at Green Farm Conservation Park (aka Lois Green C.P.) in Gaithersburg.

Warbler migrants were much thinner on the ground than in the past few 
weeks, with Yellow-rumped by far the most common.  We did have 3 Palm 
Warblers and a nice immature NASHVILLE WARBLER.  Other highlights 
were a pair of Wood Ducks on the lower-elevation pond, a flyover 
NORTHERN HARRIER, a skulking HOUSE WREN and a good variety of 
sparrows, with SAVANNAH, SWAMP, FIELD, and CHIPPING in addition to 
the usual Song and White-throated Sparrows.
