After dropping one of my boys off for some tutoring near Laytonsville, I 
was pleased to find a couple of FOS Eastern Meadowlarks in a field along 
Rocky Rd this afternoon around 4 pm.

Also enjoyed some time at a mini wetland area called Green Hills Farm 
Wetlands off Huntmaster Rd. Signs posted in wetlands indicate its a MD 
DOT mitigation project. This area is on northeast side of Huntmaster Rd 
and a path on left side that takes you into wetlands puts afternoon sun 
at your back. I enjoyed watching some ducks in flight (most were 
mallards) but also watched a few Gadwall, Green-winged Teal, and Wood 
Ducks fly in. Seems like an interesting area but don't recollect it 
being mentioned by other Montgomery birders.
