Hello all.

Some birds of note were found today at Kembo Road and Brandon Woods pond in 
Pasadena, northern Anne Arundel County. 

The Least terns seem to have returned to their 'annual' nesting site on top 
of the FILA building in Brandon Woods business park. This would make 3 
years in a row for them there. I saw seven birds there today and had a 
group of five earlier today over neighboring Chestnut Hill Cove. 

With them, all of the Carroll Island birds are around foraging in the area 
making for a great birding trip. Also, the Kentucky Warbler was a great 
find at Kembo.
