Hi Marshall (and others),
When I worked for Dave Brinker (MD DNR) in the summer of 1995, we
covered every known Least Tern colony and every Gull colony that it was
reasonable to get to. I don't recall a single LETE colony in Anne Arundel at
that time, though I probably did not pay too much attention to county lines back
then. Sparrows Point High School had a colony of LETEs but I believe that is in
Baltimore or Baltimore County
Every large Gull colony that we researched would typically have one or
two GBBG nests mixed in with it but the Bay Bridge island was the ONLY PURE GBBG
colony that we had. We only had 4 or 5 nests there but there was not a single
HERG nest in the lot.
Good observation ... Sorry I can't help with the LETE's
